Susanna "Susan" Abraham, BACP

Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a counsellor with a BACP registration and 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their next steps. Susan aims to create a compassionate space where clients can talk through what matters most to them and set practical goals.

Her sessions prioritise clear, steady conversation. She helps people increase awareness of patterns, build coping skills and strengthen emotional resilience. Sessions centre on agreed goals and small steps that can be tried between meetings.

Susan works with a wide range of life concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, addiction and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing major life transitions such as career change, parenting strain or midlife re-evaluation. Her approach is adaptable to the person rather than rigid to a single method.

Her practice draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present feelings, and on Client-Centred principles that put the person's experience at the heart of the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used where thinking or behaviour patterns are getting in the way of daily life.

Susan describes therapy as a collaborative process. She and each client plan goals together and check progress along the way. People considering sessions are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Susan's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, helping people understand patterns that affect close relationships. It can be useful for those who feel stuck by repeated relationship problems or abandonment fears.

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the centre and relies on empathic listening and respect. This approach supports people who need a steady, non-judgemental space to make sense of difficult emotions and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical changes to unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties where small behavioural experiments can make a difference.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susan treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss different options in early sessions. Together they will consider the client's needs, goals and preferences to try the best-fit methods.

Online work can make therapy easier to fit into daily life. It can reduce travel time, let people schedule shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or offer phone options when video is not practical. Because session formats in the biography included messaging, phone and video, confirm which of these are currently offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain steady contact and to practise the same conversational and practical tools they would use in person.
