Susanna "Susan" Abraham, BACP

Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who works from the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and low self-esteem. Susan aims to create a calm, compassionate space where clients can talk through what matters most to them and set practical goals.

She describes her work as collaborative and goal-focused. Sessions begin with what the person brings and move towards clearer choices and steps that fit everyday life. Susan uses plain language and listens for what sparks hope, then helps people experiment with small changes to build strength and resilience.

Susan draws on a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her. She combines attachment-based ideas about connection with client-centred listening and tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to help manage thoughts and behaviours. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and existential ideas about meaning also shape her work with people facing big life questions.

People come to her for many reasons, including relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep or eating concerns, and challenges linked to trauma, bereavement or major life change. She also supports people dealing with anger, career crossroads, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Susan works in English and accepts international clients. Practical arrangements such as session formats and scheduling are handled during the booking process. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and how early relationships shape current emotional responses; online work can help people notice these patterns and practise new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and acceptance to help someone make sense of their experience and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises and short, structured tasks that can be done between sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through goals, try things out and adapt methods based on what feels useful. Many people switch or combine approaches as their needs change, and Susan emphasises working together to find the right fit.

Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person, or make it simpler to keep therapy going after a move. Session formats supported by this counsellor are discussed during booking, so please confirm the current options before scheduling.
