About Susan
Susan Humphreys is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has six years of professional experience. She offers listening, empathy and respectful care to people facing difficult life events.
Her approach is warm and compassionate and aims to help people feel understood. Susan focuses on grief and bereavement and supports people as they adjust to loss. She also works with stress and anxiety, low self-esteem and the challenges that come with life changes.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each persons needs rather than following a fixed script. Her practice also covers issues linked to attachment and abandonment, and she has experience with autism and Asperger Syndrome. She can help with chronic illness, caregiver stress and the emotional impact of serious health conditions.
Susan regularly supports people dealing with relationship endings, commitment worries, jealousy and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. She also addresses feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame and the search for life purpose. Sessions combine listening with practical reflection so people can make small changes that matter.
The emphasis is on clear, straightforward conversation that helps people cope better day to day. Susan aims to create a calm space where clients can explore what matters to them.

Online support
Support for stress and anxiety often focuses on simple, practical strategies. Conversations include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small changes in daily routines. These techniques aim to reduce overwhelm and improve coping in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. Clients and the counsellor review what is helpful over time and adapt the way they work based on goals, needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins and written reflection that some people prefer. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to choose a format that matches practical needs.
