Therapeutic approaches and online support
Susan often works from a client-centred perspective, which focuses on listening carefully, valuing the person’s experience and supporting self-directed growth. This approach is helpful for people seeking a respectful, empathetic space to explore emotions and build self-understanding.Psychodynamic therapy is another strand of her practice. It involves gently exploring underlying patterns, early relationships and emotional themes that influence current behaviour and feelings, and can be useful for addressing longstanding difficulties and relational issues.
Solution-focused techniques are used to identify practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals. This approach is action-oriented and supports people who want concrete strategies for managing stress, relationships or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Susan works collaboratively to determine what fits best for each person. Registered professionals and therapists will tailor methods based on the individual’s needs, goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to arrange sessions around work, family or mobility needs. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from familiar settings when working through stress, grief, relationship concerns or other challenges.
