About Susan
Susan Walker is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 25 years of experience. She commonly helps people who are coping with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and parenting and family concerns including blended family issues. She works with matters such as self-esteem, addiction, grief and the day-to-day strain of life change.
Susan uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment tools to clarify values and guide behavioural steps. Sessions may also include skills from dialectical behaviour therapy and client-centred listening to support emotional regulation and clearer communication.
Her way of working aims to make therapy understandable and usable between meetings. She offers ways to practise new responses, set small goals and manage strong emotions. Hypnotherapy techniques are also listed among her approaches and may be introduced where appropriate.
Susan has long experience across common and complex problems. That experience includes work with abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, domestic violence, and separation and divorce concerns. First responder issues and caregiver stress are also within her focus.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and the confusion that comes with family change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, panic and persistent negative thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss what feels most useful and try different strategies together. The plan is decided collaboratively, based on the client’s goals, current difficulties and what feels workable in day-to-day life.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow clients to use sessions while living in different countries, which supports international clients who want to keep continuity with one therapist rather than switching local services.
