About Susan
Susan Humphreys is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on meeting people where they are and listening carefully to what matters most to them. Her approach is warm and respectful and aims to create a space where clients can talk without feeling judged.
Susan specialises in stress, anxiety, grief and bereavement, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people coping with life changes and concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness and caregiving strain.
How Susan works
Practical worries like divorce, commitment doubts and feelings of emptiness are part of her work too. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Susan uses empathic listening and gentle reflection to help people make sense of painful experiences.
She works collaboratively to set goals and try small steps that build coping and resilience. Her background supports work with life-limiting illness, hospice care, cancer-related distress and complicated grief. She also brings experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and those dealing with isolation or jealousy.
People can expect clear, plain talk and a steady, patient approach. The emphasis is on practical ways to manage emotions day to day and to find more meaning and stability after difficult events.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Susan draws on person-centred ways of working that focus on understanding and empathy. This approach helps when people are grieving, feeling low, or trying to rebuild after a big life change by prioritising the person’s experience and pace.She also uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help manage stress and anxiety. These methods break problems into smaller steps so people can try new coping strategies between sessions and notice what helps in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit your situation. You and she will adjust methods over time so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer flexibility for people who prefer typing or need to fit sessions around a busy day. These options make it simpler to get regular support from wherever you are.
