Susanna Newsome welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. She aims to make first steps feel manageable and supportive. Susanna speaks English and Italian, and brings 17 years of experience to her work.

She uses a client-centred approach that prioritises the person's experience. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and gently guiding people to notice options and make choices that fit their life. Conversations are paced to suit the individual and to reduce pressure during difficult moments.

Background and approach

Susanna has particular experience with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, career questions, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She also offers support around body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues and hoarding. Other areas she addresses include immigration worries, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, self-love, women's issues, workplace difficulties and young adult concerns.

She is trauma informed and aware of the effects of dyslexia in adulthood, and she adapts the way she works to make sessions easier to follow. Susanna holds BACP and NCPS credentials which reflect her professional registrations in the UK and Italy. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Susanna encourages people to take small, steady steps and to choose the pace that feels right for them.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits people facing relationship strain, life changes or questions about purpose because it focuses on the individual's values and perspective.

Susanna also brings a trauma-informed sensibility to online work, which means she pays attention to pacing and safety when discussing difficult experiences. That helps if someone has past hurts or finds some topics overwhelming. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client work together to decide what feels most helpful based on the person's goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer writing or need to fit therapy into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods across these formats so therapy fits around work, family and travel commitments.
