Susan Hewitt, BACP

Susan Hewitt offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by life’s pressures. She aims to make first steps feel manageable and to help people find clearer ways forward. Susan uses plain language and steady listening to help people talk through their concerns and set practical goals.

She creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the individual and on small changes that build confidence. Conversations are paced to suit each person’s comfort and readiness.

Susan draws on a mix of talking approaches to help with anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationship strain and problems like sleep, eating or substance misuse. She blends attention to past events with present coping skills so people can feel steadier day to day.

With 13 years of experience she has supported people through grief, life change, managing bipolar symptoms and the practical stresses of chronic illness. She also works with issues around identity, intimacy and communication. Her work recognises how attachment and life stories shape present reactions.

Susan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions from the United Kingdom and communicates in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their timetable.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns and practise new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centred therapy focuses on attentive, non-judgemental listening and on the person’s own goals; it helps people feel heard and to find their own answers through conversation. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss different options and together with the client decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can combine elements from several approaches so the work feels tailored and collaborative.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work when reflection and expression benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, brief coaching, or times when writing feels a better way to say what’s on the mind. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
