Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression and messy life changes. She supports those struggling with low self-esteem, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, trauma, ADHD and parenting pressures. Susy is named as a BACP counsellor and works from a practical, down-to-earth stance.

She keeps sessions focused on what you can do now. Conversations are calm and straightforward. Susy uses grounded exercises to slow overthinking and reduce emotional reactivity so people can make clearer choices.

Background and approach

Her approach blends a few psychological styles. She draws on cognitive behavioural methods to spot unhelpful thinking, and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Attachment-informed work and client-centred listening shape how she understands relationship patterns and personal history.

Susy has 17 years of experience and brings a coaching mindset alongside counselling. That means she aims for practical steps as well as emotional understanding. Sessions often include simple tools you can use between meetings to test changes in real life.

People meet Susy for stand-alone sessions or a short series of meetings to tackle a specific issue. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make it easier to keep therapy going alongside a busy life.

How Susy’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters to you and small steps that move you toward those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches simple techniques to test and change them in everyday life. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early or current relationships shape reactions and safety needs, and it helps people rework those patterns over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susy treats this as a collaboration and will discuss which methods might suit your goals and preferences. Together you can try different strategies and adapt them as you learn what helps most.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversational work, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat allows shorter check-ins during a busy day, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
