Susan Gibson

Susan Gibson is a counsellor with ten years of experience who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and career concerns. She holds NCPS and works to create a welcoming space where people can talk through difficult feelings. She encourages a gentle first step and recognises that seeking help takes courage.

Her practice aims to make conversations straightforward and practical. She uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping. Motivational Interviewing helps people find inner reasons to change, while narrative ideas can help reframe painful life stories.

Susan brings experience helping people cope with compassion fatigue, abandonment issues and attachment concerns. She also supports those facing domestic violence, divorce and separation, infidelity, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. She pays attention to control issues, codependency and patterns associated with avoidant personality and impulsivity.

Sessions are held with a focus on the individual's goals and pace. Clients can expect a respectful, non-judgemental style that encourages honest talk and practical steps. Susan works with people to set clear short-term aims and reviews progress together.

She practises in the United Kingdom and provides services in English. International clients are accepted. To begin a path of change she asks that people select Start Therapy and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Susan's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they most want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and manage stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest ways to proceed. Decisions about which methods to use are made together and can change as progress is reviewed.

The practical benefits of online therapy are about fitting sessions into everyday life. It can make it easier to book appointments around work or family commitments and reduce travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm which formats are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to suit quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins, or a longer weekly slot depending on what a person needs.
