About Susan
Susan "Sue" Jensen brings eight years of clinical experience to her counselling work in Australia. She is a PACFA practitioner who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues and trauma. Sue writes simply and directly, so people can quickly understand how she works and what to expect.
Sue helps people notice the patterns that keep them stuck. She uses practical conversation and exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Sessions aim to make daily life feel more manageable and relationships easier to navigate.
How Susan works
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. That means Sue might use acceptance and commitment techniques to clarify values, cognitive tools to challenge negative thoughts, or attachment ideas to improve how people connect. She adjusts the mix to what each person needs instead of sticking to one script.
Sue often supports people dealing with parenting strain, separation, loneliness, first responder stress and midlife transitions. She also helps with self-esteem, intimacy issues and feelings of guilt or shame. The focus is practical: better communication, clearer boundaries and steadier mood regulation.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Sue listens, asks clear questions and offers straightforward strategies to try between meetings. Her work suits people who want a down-to-earth counsellor who explains methods plainly and helps them build new habits over time.

Online support options
How Sue’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values even when strong feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, stress and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current closeness and trust; it can help with intimacy issues and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques that suit an individual situation rather than following a fixed plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when convenient, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports shorter, more flexible check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
