About Susanne

Susanne (Susie) Robinson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 28 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family problems, trauma and abuse, depression and addictions. Her practice also addresses parenting, sleeping and eating difficulties, grief, intimacy and issues that often arise in blended family situations.

Susie uses a conversational, person-focused style. She invites clients to set the agenda and talks through whatever matters most to them. Sessions are practical and grounded. The aim is to identify strengths, notice patterns and try different ways of responding to problems.

Her approach draws on several well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centred Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). These give different ways to look at feelings, behaviours and memories and to build clearer thinking and action steps.

Susie has long experience in varied settings and brings that background into conversations about work-life balance, compassion fatigue and career-related strain. She also supports people facing abandonment, attachment and control issues, as well as those coping with guilt, shame or isolation.

Practical goals are common in her sessions. That might be reducing anxiety, improving communication, managing addictive behaviours, or finding steadier routines after a household change. People are encouraged to notice small changes and test what works in daily life.

How Susie uses different therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, relationship doubts and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It breaks problems into manageable steps and tests new ways of thinking and acting, which is useful for stress, low mood and coping with changes in a blended household.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with distressing memories by guiding attention while the person recalls them. It is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they provoke.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Then she and the client agree which methods to try and adapt over time in a collaborative way.

Confirm the currently offered session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, transport or childcare, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel for a meeting. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often combine approaches to match practical goals and daily life constraints.
