About Susan
Susan Spooner works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She offers calm, straightforward support for people trying to regain confidence and cope with big life changes. Susan aims to make conversations feel manageable and focused, so parents can read and decide quickly whether she might help.
Susan holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide ethical practice in her work. She brings three years of professional experience helping people with low self-esteem, confidence issues and motivation struggles.
How Susan works
Her approach focuses on the person in front of her and on practical steps they can try between sessions. Clients commonly come to Susan for help with panic attacks, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress symptoms. She also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, attachment worries, loneliness and problems with communication.
Sessions cover both immediate coping strategies and longer-term ways to rebuild self-love and trust in relationships. Susan works in plain language and treats each conversation as a collaboration. She encourages people to notice small changes and to set manageable goals.
Homework or simple exercises may be suggested to practice new ways of thinking and relating. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, focused on opening options rather than giving single answers. People who want steady, practical support while they navigate change will find a clear, supportive presence in her practice.

How practical therapy and online sessions work together
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical steps. One common method helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and then practise small shifts in thinking and behaviour to reduce anxiety and social fear. This approach is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety and persistent worry.Another helpful technique centres on processing upsetting memories and learning new coping responses. It supports people who have experienced trauma, abuse or loss and who want to reduce distressing reactions and regain daily functioning.
Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Susan will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree together which approaches to try. She views therapy as a partnership where choices are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can feel more relaxed, live chat can suit short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility so people can choose what fits their routine and energy level.
