Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Susan offers a calm, compassionate space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming and work towards clearer, more manageable steps.

Susan begins by listening closely to each person's story and what matters to them. She helps set practical goals together and focuses on small changes that build strength over time.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around the person's needs rather than a fixed prescription. Her approach draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas, which place the relationship and the person's experience at the centre of the work. She also uses cognitive behavioural methods to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.

Emotionally-focused and existential perspectives are available when people want to look at feelings or life meaning more deeply. Susan has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps those facing addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, and work-related pressures.

Additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, body image and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and she accepts international clients. People usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit their schedule.

Susan aims for straightforward conversations and steady progress. She works at the pace a person needs, offering practical tools alongside time to reflect and make sense of difficult emotions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape the way people connect and feel safe with others. Online sessions can use this approach to notice patterns in relationships and try different ways of relating in day-to-day life.

Client-centred practice places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor follows the person's pace, reflecting what they say and helping them find their own solutions for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and caregiving stress.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts, feelings and actions and aim to test unhelpful thinking with doable experiments. This is useful for problems such as anxiety, sleep difficulties, and managing anger or addictive urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and try different methods together. The choice of approach is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want to fit sessions into a busy day.

These formats make it simpler to access regular support from the United Kingdom or internationally, while letting the person choose what feels most manageable for them.
