About Susan

Susan Gibson is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on practical support for work and wellbeing concerns. She draws on ten years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career worries and compassion fatigue. Her approach is warm and straightforward and aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.

Sessions usually begin by listening closely to what matters most to the person. She helps clients name what is causing pain and then works with them to try small changes that can ease daily life. Conversations are plain and direct, not full of jargon.

Susan also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and to try clearer, more useful ways of responding. She brings narrative therapy ideas when people want to reframe difficult life stories and psychodynamic thinking to look at repeating patterns that cause frustration.

She accepts international clients and runs appointments from the United Kingdom. Her credential is NCPS which is shown as provided in her background. Costs vary with location and sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Susan aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where practical steps toward wellbeing can be tried together.

How person-centred and practical approaches work online

Person-centred therapy focuses on being listened to and understood without judgement. Online sessions let someone describe their concerns and feel heard, while the therapist reflects and helps them clarify what matters most in work and wellbeing. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Online work can include practical exercises and short behavioural experiments aimed at reducing anxiety or improving confidence.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss each person’s goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together they can review what helps and adjust the plan as they go.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow quicker access from different locations. It can also suit shorter check-ins or deeper weekly sessions depending on what someone needs and schedules permit.
