About Susan
Susan Walker is a counsellor with 25 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addictions and grief.
Susan aims to listen without judgement and to treat each person with sensitivity and respect. She adapts conversations and plans so they suit what an individual needs.
Background and approach
She frames therapy as a practical process and keeps things straightforward and calm. Her approach draws on several well known methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and move toward what matters to them.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behavioural steps. Client-Centred ways of working help people feel heard and understood during sessions. Susan has also worked with issues such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems and separation.
She offers support for those facing eating difficulties, intimacy-related concerns and the particular pressures of first responder roles. Sessions can be arranged in formats that suit busy lives. Susan will work with each person to agree goals and a pace that feels manageable.
She aims to help people take steady steps toward clearer thinking and more reliable coping.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss possible methods and agree a way forward together. Plans are adjusted over time to match your goals and what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for busy lives. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises, phone sessions suit people who want an audio-only option or have lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
