About Susan

Susan Walker is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who want to manage anger, stress and anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day.

Susan helps people who are coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addictions and parenting concerns. She also supports those facing intimacy-related matters, eating issues and the fallout from separation or divorce. Anger and communication problems are named areas she addresses alongside attachment and abandonment concerns.

Her way of working is straightforward. She listens to the problems people bring, then uses agreed tools and conversations to reduce unhelpful patterns. That can mean learning new thinking and behaviour skills, practising calming or grounding techniques, or looking at unprocessed experiences that keep causing upset.

Susan draws on a mix of approaches such as cognitive-behavioural methods, acceptance-based work, and client-centred conversations. She may also use elements from dialectical behaviour therapy and hypnotherapy when they fit the goals people set. The emphasis is on clear strategies the client can try between sessions.

People who book a first session can expect a plain initial assessment and a plan for what to focus on next. Susan supports change in manageable steps and reviews progress as therapy continues. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unwanted thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match your values. It can help when anger gets in the way of priorities or relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactive responses when anger arises.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood. It gives space to talk through difficult moments and make sense of patterns that keep repeating.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that suit the person’s situation. That collaborative process helps pick tools that are workable in daily life.

Confirm current session formats before booking as the biography did not list formats. When arranging sessions, consider how online meetings can fit into routines - they can save travel time, make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements during the first meeting so sessions fit day-to-day life.
