Susan Walker offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. She is easy to talk to and aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can work through difficult feelings and make changes that matter.

With 25 years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Susan draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals, useful skills and honest conversation rather than jargon. She adapts her style to match how someone prefers to work and what they want to achieve. Susan helps with trauma and abuse recovery, grief, addictions and problems with intimacy and eating.

She also supports people struggling with self-esteem, anger, coping with life changes and parental stress. Her additional focus includes attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, codependency and first responder pressures. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment therapy with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques.

When helpful, she incorporates mindfulness practices, elements of dialectical behaviour work and hypnotherapy to broaden options for change. Sessions are offered in English and available to people inside and outside the United Kingdom. She encourages a step-by-step pace, with practical tools and gentle challenge so clients can build new routines and healthier ways of relating.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions towards a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises warm, non-judgemental listening. The therapist offers understanding and reflection so people can find their own solutions and build confidence in their choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process so people can try what feels most helpful and change direction if needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or have less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, notes between sessions or people who find writing easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives.
