About Susan
Susan Chown is a counsellor with a decade of experience supporting people through difficult times. She focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related concerns. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
Susan uses a client-centred approach. That means she listens first and follows the person's lead. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual, and the pace is set by them.
Background and approach
She helps people identify their own strengths and use those strengths to move past problems. Practical steps and clear conversation topics are used so sessions feel purposeful. Work might include talking through relationship patterns, processing loss, or unpacking the impact of past trauma.
Sessions can also look at daily stresses such as sleep, work pressure, or struggles with identity and self-esteem. She supports people dealing with addictions, mood fluctuations, ADHD and coping with big life changes. The emphasis stays on what the person wants to change and how to get there.
Susan accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Her background and steady presence are aimed at helping people feel understood and able to try new ways of managing their lives.

Approaches Susan lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The process is collaborative. Susan helps people identify goals and chooses the best way to work together based on the person's needs and preferences. She will check in about what is or isn't helping and adapt the way sessions run to suit the individual.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can fit into a busy day or feel less formal when someone prefers not to use voice or video.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or when travel is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals are available through online formats, and the variety of session types helps people find a workable routine for regular therapy.
