Susannah "Susy" Rudkin, BACP

Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and the restless thinking that often comes with midlife change. She uses straightforward, practical methods to calm emotional reactivity and rebuild confidence. People come to her when overthinking, low self‑esteem or life transitions make everyday decisions feel heavy.

Susy describes her work as present‑focused and practical. She offers tools to notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Sessions emphasise small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. The aim is clearer thinking and more reliable self‑trust.

Her background includes 17 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She blends coaching ideas with counselling to help people move from insight to action. That mix supports emotional regulation and practical steps for change.

Sessions commonly involve identifying limiting beliefs and testing new ways of responding to stress. Techniques draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment‑informed thinking where useful. Work may include learning self‑soothing skills, practising new communication habits or setting manageable goals.

People who prefer thoughtful, hands‑on support may find this approach helpful. Susy encourages clients to experiment with different tools and notice what actually helps in daily life. To begin, readers are invited to check the platform process and match with her to see if she feels like the right fit.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting pulled into them and then act in line with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, overthinking, and making life changes feel more manageable.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical experiments to test new responses. This approach often helps with worry, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful habits.

Attachment‑based ideas bring attention to how early relationships influence current patterns and safety in close connections. This can be useful for intimacy concerns and rebuilding trust in oneself and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susy will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress unfolds.

If you prefer online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around a busy day, allow quieter check‑ins without travel, and let people practise new skills in ordinary settings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use similar approaches when working remotely, and the focus remains on practical steps that fit everyday life.
