About Susan
Susan Chown is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people make changes that matter. She draws on more than 10 years of professional experience and focuses on issues that disrupt everyday life. Susan is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
She supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, addictions, and sleep problems. Sessions attend to practical struggles alongside emotional ones, so conversations often cover day-to-day routines as well as feelings.
Susan believes people already have strengths to build on. In sessions she listens without judging and follows each person’s pace. The aim is to make space to talk, try things out, and notice small shifts that add up over time.
Her experience includes longer-term and short-term work across a wide range of life challenges, from career and parenting pressures to coping with chronic illness and bereavement. She brings a steady, patient style to difficult topics and helps people plan doable next steps.
People who are unsure how to begin can expect straightforward, practical guidance about the process. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Client-centred work adapted for online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's perspective. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the person lead the conversation. This approach suits concerns like relationship strain, grief, anxiety and issues around sleep where understanding a person's day-to-day experience matters.The counsellor's role is to follow the person's pace and priorities rather than direct the session. Together they shape goals, try practical steps, and review what helps. Finding the right approach is part of the process and the counsellor will work collaboratively to identify what fits best for each person's needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help maintain continuity of care when life events make in-person meetings harder. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to help people keep progress moving forward while adapting to practical constraints.
