About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin is a counsellor with 17 years' experience who helps people facing Depression, anxiety and stress. She focuses on stopping overthinking and rebuilding confidence so daily life feels calmer. Susy uses practical tools and clear conversation to help people make steady change.
Susy listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck. She helps identify unhelpful beliefs and emotional triggers. Sessions aim to reduce reactivity and replace self-sabotage with habits that support wellbeing.
Background and approach
Her style is calm and present-focused. Conversations are practical and grounded rather than long analysis. People leave sessions with small, manageable steps they can use between meetings.
Across her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns including relationship issues, grief, addiction, trauma and sleep problems. She also supports people with self-esteem, career worries, parenting strain and neurodiverse needs such as autism and ADHD. Susy draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to tailor work to each person.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep and many everyday problems where thinking patterns keep someone stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel close to in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief support between sessions, or want to reflect before responding.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy around life. Registered and accredited professionals, including therapists who use ACT and CBT, adapt techniques so the work stays practical and focused even when sessions are remote.
