Susanna Newsome, BACP, NCPS

Susanna Newsome offers calm, direct support for people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career uncertainty, or big life changes. She speaks English and Italian and brings 17 years of professional experience to sessions. Susanna aims to make it easier to speak about difficult feelings and to find practical ways forward.

She uses a client-centred way of working, which means conversations are led by the person in the room. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people notice what matters most to them. Sessions focus on the client's own goals and pace rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Susanna is attentive to the specific challenges that can come with compassion fatigue, workplace stress and caregiving strain. She also supports people worrying about body image, feeling isolated, or struggling with control and impulsivity. Practical discussion and gentle reflection are mixed so people can try out new ideas between sessions.

Her background includes practice in the United Kingdom and Italy, and she holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Those are listed exactly as supplied. She also describes being trauma-informed and sensitive to dyslexia in adulthood, which shapes how she structures conversations and materials.

People who choose to work with Susanna usually start by saying what outcome matters to them. From there she and the client shape sessions to suit work, family life and personal rhythms. The emphasis is on clear, steady support and small, achievable steps forward.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's experience and following their lead in session. The counsellor offers reflection and empathy to help people make sense of their feelings and choose what matters most to work on. This approach suits issues such as relationship strain, coping with life changes, and exploring trauma reactions.

The right approach often becomes clear through conversation. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide how to apply client-centred ways of working to your goals. That might mean slower pacing, more active problem-solving or practical steps between sessions depending on what you want to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or when typing helps you express yourself. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on your goals.
