About Susanna
Susanna Newsome offers calm, practical support for people facing work and wellbeing challenges. She helps with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career dilemmas and coping with big life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Italian. She has 17 years of professional experience and describes herself as trauma informed and sensitive to dyslexia in adulthood.
Susanna uses a client-centred approach. That means she follows what each person brings and helps them find their own solutions. In sessions she focuses on listening closely, reflecting what you say, and helping you notice choices you can make day to day.
She has worked across settings in the United Kingdom and Italy, which informs how she supports people with immigration and workplace issues. Susanna also addresses concerns such as compassion fatigue, body image, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, hoarding, impulsivity and isolation.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. She helps people weigh options, practise new ways of speaking or acting, and find small changes that build confidence. The work often includes looking at values, setting realistic goals, and pacing progress so it feels manageable.
If someone wants to start, Susanna asks them to use the site's matching steps to choose a time. She will then work with each person to shape goals and a plan that suits their life and commitments.
How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Susanna uses a client-centred approach, which means she listens closely and follows what each person brings. In practice this looks like reflective listening, summarising what has been said, and helping people make choices that fit their life. This approach can help with relationship issues, career decisions and managing the effects of trauma.She also draws on her experience supporting people with compassion fatigue, workplace issues and life transitions. That background helps when the focus is practical - for example pacing change, setting boundaries at work, or rebuilding routines after a difficult period.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will be explored together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful for you, and adapt the way sessions run as needed. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes working with a therapist in a different country possible, which matches her experience in the United Kingdom and Italy.
