About Susan

Susan Chambers offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed. She helps those coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and addiction-related struggles. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping clients take small, steady steps towards change.

Susan uses a client-focused approach that puts the person’s experience at the centre of each session. She encourages people to say what matters to them and listens without judgement. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person’s comfort and needs.

02

How Susan works

She also works with trauma and abuse issues using trauma-focused methods that carefully address painful memories and their impact. The focus is on building coping skills and understanding how past events shape present feelings and reactions. Susan holds a BACP credential, which indicates her professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and carries that experience into online work. People can expect a supportive space to talk through practical problems such as career strain, relationship and intimacy worries, caregiver stress, anger, or feeling stuck in midlife. She also helps with more specific concerns like attachment difficulties, codependency, dissociation and addiction-related issues.

Susan makes therapy accessible through a range of online formats so people can choose what works best for their routine. She aims to help each person find clearer thinking, better coping, and more confidence to move forward.

Online support options

How Susan's approaches work online

Susan uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings to each session. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk through stress, relationship worries or questions about life direction.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the impact of past harm on day-to-day functioning. That work aims to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, dissociation and the after-effects of abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit each person's needs. The decision about which approach to use is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for short check-ins, and text messaging suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options provide flexibility and make it easier to maintain regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
