Susan Kinsella-Brice, BACP

Susan Kinsella-Brice greets people with a calm, straightforward approach. She explains things plainly and helps clients untangle worries about stress, anxiety, low mood and the effects of trauma. She encourages people to notice their strengths and to take steady steps toward change. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at making therapy feel manageable from the first session.

Susan uses techniques that help people make sense of difficult feelings and patterns. She draws on client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools can help shift unhelpful thoughts and routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports work on attachment and close relationships.

Across 14 years of practice in the United Kingdom she has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, addictions, parenting strains, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing issues such as chronic illness, eating and food-related difficulties, avoidance and codependency. Susan pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and coping styles.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit everyday life. She blends talking, reflection and simple exercises to build coping skills and improve sleep, self-esteem and day-to-day functioning. Wherever helpful, she brings in mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm.

Susan is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She works in English and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

How Susan’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space so people can find their own solutions; it helps when someone wants to make sense of feelings and reclaim confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people to understand and shift patterns in close relationships and attachment concerns, useful for intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt methods as you go. Together you can try different techniques and keep what helps most, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for conversational therapy and short exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, reflective notes or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs.
