Susan Humphreys, BACP

Susan Humphreys is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She guides people through hard moments in a calm, respectful way. Her practice focuses on listening, empathy and tailoring sessions to each person's needs.

Susan specialises in stress, anxiety and depression. She helps people cope with life changes and supports those facing grief and loss. She also works with issues around self-esteem and family-related concerns, helping people make sense of difficult relationships and transitions.

Her additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, cancer and hospice or end-of-life concerns. She also addresses caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Practical matters such as divorce, commitment difficulties and jealousy are included too.

Susan uses an approach built on evidence-based therapeutic techniques while keeping the conversation person-led. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings, with pacing and goals agreed together. That makes it easier to work through grief, adjust to change, or find more balance in daily life.

She holds BACP as a credential and offers therapy in English. International clients can be supported. The first step is to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Susan draws on person-centred ways of working that place the person at the heart of the session. This approach means she listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and uses gentle reflection to help people make sense of feelings and situations. It is useful for grief, low mood and stress.

She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific problems. These techniques focus on practical strategies to manage anxiety, improve mood and cope with life changes. They are chosen so they fit the person and the issues they bring.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree a plan with the person. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit moments when writing feels easier or when someone needs brief, timely support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
