Susan Hewitt
Practical, compassionate support for difficult life moments
About Susan
Susan Hewitt helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She speaks plainly and listens closely to each person's story. Her aim is to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to plan small, practical steps forward.
Susan is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience working in the UK. She has supported people with relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, loss and grief, and issues around self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also works with addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, and the practical strains of career or life change. In sessions she creates a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Susan uses a mix of talking approaches to match a person's needs, including methods that focus on relationships, the stories people tell about themselves, and practical thinking strategies.
She also draws on mindfulness to help with stress and grounding. Sessions are used to clarify what matters most, practise new ways of coping, and strengthen day-to-day routines. Susan aims to help people recognise unhelpful patterns and try out different choices in a supportive way.
She encourages small, achievable steps rather than big, sudden changes. People come to her for help with a wide range of concerns such as parenting strains, anger, chronic health challenges, attachment worries, and career decisions. She works collaboratively, listening first and planning next.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs.

Approaches that suit online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings and reactions. It can help with trust, closeness and attachment-related worries by looking at how past experiences shape present relationships.Client-centred therapy gives space for people to be heard without judgement and to find their own answers. This approach is useful for building confidence, exploring values and making steady choices at a manageable pace.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and tailor sessions to what helps most. Decisions about method are made jointly and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video can be close to an in-person conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is lower, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping continuity of care.
