About Susan
Susan Pollard is a registered therapeutic counsellor (NCPS) with seven years' experience working in the counselling field in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, and other life changes. Susan uses straightforward, person-focused methods so conversations stay practical and relevant.
Susan views the client as the expert in their own life and works alongside them as a partner. She uses a non-directive, client-centred approach that focuses on the present while recognising that past events can still affect current reactions.
Sessions often involve looking at beliefs about the self and how these shape behaviour and feelings. She helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating and considers how social and cultural pressures connect to their concerns.
Mindfulness is part of her way of working, bringing attention to what is happening in the body and mind in the here and now. That can help with anger, anxiety, and coping with stressful moments at work or at home.
Susan aims to make practical steps feel manageable. Conversations are practical and paced to each person. She encourages small, achievable changes rather than large sudden shifts.
People choosing to work with her start by describing the problems they want to change. From there she helps set realistic goals and checks progress as therapy continues. The focus stays on usable strategies and clearer decision making for everyday life.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens and follows the client's lead, helping people make sense of their feelings and decide what to try next. This approach is useful for worries about anger, relationship problems and low self-esteem.Mindfulness Therapy focuses attention on present-moment experience. Simple attention and breathing practices help people notice triggers and bodily sensations linked to anger or anxiety. That awareness can make it easier to choose different responses in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the client's goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they will try methods that suit the person's everyday life and change them if needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, care duties and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on what is offered. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises and mindfulness practices so they work in an online setting.
