Susanna "Susan" Abraham, BACP

Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a counsellor with 15 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and low self-esteem. Susan also works with concerns such as sleep problems, relationship strain, career questions and managing life changes.

Her way of working centres on creating a compassionate, collaborative space. She encourages people to talk about what matters to them and to set clear goals together. Sessions aim to build awareness, hope and practical steps so day-to-day life feels more manageable.

Susan draws on several approaches to shape each session, including attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. She also uses emotionally focused perspectives and existential questions when they suit the issue at hand. These methods are mixed to match each person’s needs rather than applied in a fixed formula.

People who come to Susan often want help with big life shifts, caring responsibilities and challenges related to ageing and geriatric issues. She also supports those dealing with trauma, bereavement, parenting strain and addiction concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and Susan is open to working with international clients. She asks new people to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how past bonds still affect current trust and closeness. It is useful for those who struggle with attachment issues, abandonment worries or relationship difficulties.

Client-centred therapy emphasises listening with empathy and following the client's agenda. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them before making practical changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, insomnia and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to include people in different locations when appropriate. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt techniques used in face-to-face work so they remain practical and goal focused in remote sessions.
