Susanne (Susie) Robinson, BACP

Susanne (Susie) Robinson helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and addiction. She also supports those dealing with eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career questions, and life changes. Susie is a BACP counsellor with 28 years of practice in the United Kingdom.

Susie works in a straightforward, respectful way. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and conversational, with space to talk through painful memories or current struggles.

She draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. That can include gentle exploration of emotions, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, or using focused methods for trauma processing. The pace is set by the client and Susie offers clear explanations of what she suggests.

Common topics she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, communication and commitment problems, blended family matters, control and dissociation, and coping with guilt or shame. She also supports people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Sessions may use talking, practical exercises, and techniques to shift patterns that cause distress. Susie aims to help people feel more able to manage daily life, make choices that match their values, and repair their closest connections.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It uses practical exercises and mindfulness techniques to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life tasks to change mood and behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, depression and stress by teaching clear, repeatable skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories through guided processing to reduce their emotional charge and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susie will talk through options and together decide what fits the person’s goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted as therapy progresses so the methods stay helpful rather than fixed.

Online therapy with Susie is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls make it possible to have face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily life.
