Susan Gibson, NCPS

Susan Gibson is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and issues with self-esteem. She holds the NCPS credential and brings ten years of practical experience to sessions. Susan aims to make it easier to begin talking about difficult feelings and decisions.

In sessions she creates a calm space for people to speak openly without judgement. She listens first and tailors the conversation to each person's needs. Practical ideas and gentle challenges are offered when they fit the person’s goals.

Susan draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help clients rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone wants to find the energy to make changes.

Her background includes a decade of working with concerns that often overlap, such as compassion fatigue, career worries, and relationship-related difficulties like abandonment or jealousy. She also brings experience supporting people impacted by abuse, domestic violence and separation.

Sessions are offered in English and Susan accepts international clients. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

How Susan blends approaches for online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people can speak freely and find their own solutions; it is useful for worries about self-worth and emotional overwhelm. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, offering clear steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce anxiety. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making changes by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment to small goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as sessions progress. The decision is collaborative and can change as needs become clearer.

The main practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting talking therapy into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel and making it easier to schedule around work. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins on busy days or phone-based conversations when less bandwidth is available. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
