About Susan
Susan Humphreys is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She offers calm, attentive support for people facing loss, stress and major life changes. Her approach is simple and respectful, focused on listening and understanding each person's story.
Susan works with people who are dealing with grief, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also helps those facing depression, relationship endings and the strain of caregiving.
Background and approach
Other areas she supports include chronic illness, cancer, attachment and feelings of emptiness. In sessions she aims to create space for honest conversation. She listens without judgement and responds with empathy.
Together with each person she shapes a plan that suits their needs and pace. Susan describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people process loss, work through difficult decisions and find clearer direction.
The focus is practical - small steps that add up to feeling more able to cope. Beginning therapy can feel daunting and Susan acknowledges that first-step courage. Her practice is for people who want steady, compassionate support while they navigate change and healing.

Practical approaches for online support
Person-centred work focuses on the person and their experience. It involves open listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you find your own answers. This approach is helpful for grief, anxiety and feeling stuck when life changes.Therapeutic conversations also draw on evidence-based techniques that help manage stress and mood. These techniques include structured ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking and to build small coping skills that can be used day to day. They are useful for depression, anxiety and coping with chronic illness or caregiving demands.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work with each person to decide what fits best. This is a collaborative process that takes account of your goals, preferences and how you respond to different ways of working.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief updates or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
