About Susan

Susan John offers a straightforward, body-aware approach to counselling that links thoughts and feelings to everyday life. She works holistically, noticing where emotions are felt in the body as well as what someone thinks. Susan presents this in a calm, non-judgemental way so people can start to release what no longer serves them.

Susan has four years of experience working with a range of concerns. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and depression. She also supports those facing relationship strain, identity questions, grief, trauma and difficulties around intimacy and eating. Sleep and rest are included among the issues she addresses alongside career worries and compassion fatigue.

Susan uses an integrative style so sessions focus on what a person needs right now. She draws on client-centred conversations to make space for the person’s experience. She also uses emotionally focused work to look at patterns in close relationships that cause pain.

How Susan’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows what matters to the client and helps them find their own solutions. This style supports a wide range of concerns including stress, low mood and identity questions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice how emotions shape interactions and aims to shift unhelpful cycles so relationships feel safer and more connected. That can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems and many relationship stresses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and decide together with the client which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaboration means techniques can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.

For practicalities, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions from different locations and make regular appointments simpler to attend.
