How Susan's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship where the person feels heard and respected. Online sessions use that same attitude to help people speak openly about stress, anxiety and self-esteem concerns.

Existential Therapy encourages reflection on life choices, values and purpose. In remote sessions this can help when people are facing major changes, questions about direction or feelings of meaninglessness.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events and the reactions that follow. Online sessions can guide pacing, grounding and techniques to reduce the intensity of painful memories while the therapist and client work together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and comfort level. She adapts plans as progress is made and as priorities change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins, ongoing support or those who prefer not to use video. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around daily life.
