About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, self-doubt and cycles that keep them stuck. She supports people facing relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and issues with addiction. Susy also works with concerns around sleep, eating, parenting, career change, bipolar and depression, and she offers help for people living with ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Susy brings 17 years of practice to her work and holds BACP accreditation.
How Susannah works
She frames sessions around practical tools and steady emotional regulation rather than long analysis. Conversations aim to identify the thoughts and habits that keep someone feeling small or overwhelmed, and to replace those patterns with clearer, calmer responses. Her approach blends several methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the person in front of her, with a focus on short-term skills and longer-term mindset shifts. Susy offers remote care in the United Kingdom. Appointments can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
She works in English and does not accept international clients. Practical guidance about next steps is provided at the first meeting so people know what to expect. People who want clear strategies and steady progress often find this style helpful.
The work asks for active participation and aims to build confidence, steadier moods and improved day-to-day coping. To begin, the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
How Susy uses evidence-informed approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting fused to them, then to act in ways that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, rumination and situations where overthinking limits action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which suits depression, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-based ideas look at how early patterns of relating influence current relationships and emotional responses, helping with intimacy issues, abandonment worries and trust building.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and test out methods together, choosing techniques that fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and adapt as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face from different locations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit around work, family and day-to-day demands.
