About Susan
Susan John is a counsellor who blends gentle, person-centred listening with practical tools. She uses a holistic outlook that pays attention to thoughts and to where emotions show up in the body. Her style is open, honest and compassionate, and she aims to help people notice their strengths during hard times.
Susan has four years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with anger, grief, relationship concerns and issues around identity and LGBT matters.
Background and approach
Her work includes practical strategies for coping with life changes and everyday strain. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, with mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques when these suit a person’s needs. She adapts methods to the situation rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Sessions can be short term to focus on immediate coping, or longer to build insight over time. Susan works with adults and younger adults, offering a non-judgemental space to explore feelings and patterns. She pays attention to attachment, communication and issues such as low self-esteem and body image.
The aim is to help people build self-awareness and clearer ways of relating to themselves and others. She is registered with BACP and NCPS. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients for online work.
To begin a course of sessions, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange times that fit their schedule.

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
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations in the moment, and hypnotherapy methods where gentle guided imagery can aid relaxation and focus. These approaches are offered flexibly so the client and therapist can decide together which fit best for the issue at hand.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan treats that as a collaborative process, checking what helps and adjusting methods as goals evolve. She will discuss options early on and tailor sessions to a person’s needs, preferences and pace.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, ongoing reflection and people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life.
