About Susan
Susan Kinsella-Brice is a counsellor with 14 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing depression, stress, anxiety and trauma. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make first steps feel manageable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
Susan believes each person knows their own story best. She draws on that knowledge while offering gentle guidance and practical tools. Sessions focus on building on strengths and finding ways to move forward from stuck places.
Background and approach
Her background includes long-term work with clients dealing with grief, loss and life changes. She also supports people with self-esteem, identity and motivation concerns. These areas often link with sleeping problems, anger, relationship strains and challenges at work.
Susan uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She listens first, then offers techniques such as thought-focused skills, emotion-focused work and mindfulness. The aim is to combine understanding with simple steps that can be practiced between sessions.
People who choose to work together can expect a collaborative pace. Conversations are down-to-earth, with room for emotion and practical planning. There is attention to patterns such as attachment, coping under stress, and how past wounds affect current relationships.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT can help with depression, anxiety, sleep issues and low mood by giving clear strategies to practise between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on recognising and working with strong feelings. It helps people understand why emotions recur and how to respond differently so relationships and self-awareness improve. This is helpful when past patterns or attachment concerns affect current life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together decide which methods to try. That choice can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and text-based messaging supports brief reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
