Susana Alarcon Jimenez

Susana Alarcon Jimenez is an ACA counsellor who uses a person-centred, practical style to help adults manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people on common issues such as depression, parenting strains and family conflict. Her manner is direct but warm, aiming to help people feel heard and understood from the first session.

Susana draws on a mix of therapies to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Narrative and mindfulness approaches help people notice patterns and develop new ways of relating to thoughts and feelings.

With six years of experience, Susana has supported many adults through separation, blended family adjustments, immigration stress and caregiver strain. She also addresses issues like body image, abandonment concerns, communication breakdowns and the emotional fallout from infidelity or domestic violence. Her work focuses on practical change rather than labels.

Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and pace. Susana aims for straightforward conversation, collaborative goal-setting and homework that fits real life. She emphasises inclusion and cultural sensitivity when discussing background and identity.

People who choose Susana typically want down-to-earth counselling that connects therapeutic tools to everyday problems. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session according to the therapist's availability.

How Susana's approaches translate to online therapy

Susana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name their values and take small committed steps toward them, which can be useful for anxiety and motivation struggles. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new coping strategies, a useful fit for stress and low mood. Client-centred techniques focus on listening and building trust so people feel understood while they work through difficult situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susana works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as needed during the course of therapy. This means clients help shape what is tried in sessions and how progress is measured.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes and to use short check-ins when needed.
