About Shushanik
Shushanik Gasparyan offers a warm, person-focused way of working grounded in client-centred principles. She introduces calm and steady support for people facing distressing thoughts and emotions. Her manner aims to ease the fear of talking about difficult experiences and to help restore a sense of balance in daily life.
Shushanik has eight years of experience working in agency settings as a psychologist. She has provided therapy for adults and children and taken part in projects with international organisations such as Save The Children and UNICEF on child abuse prevention.
Background and approach
Her background gives practical insight into trauma, anxiety, depression and related difficulties. She uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centred, narrative and psychodynamic ideas to fit each person's needs. That means sessions focus on the person in front of her, look at the stories someone lives by, and consider how past experiences shape current patterns.
In sessions she aims to make things clear and accessible. Conversations often include gently looking at unhelpful patterns, testing out new ways of coping, and building more helpful ways of relating to oneself and others. The work can be short term or longer term depending on the person’s needs.
Shushanik works in English and Armenian and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practices from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. To begin, people follow the site’s matching process and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Shushanik works online
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate problems from identity. It can be useful for issues like depression, trauma, relationship patterns and feelings of emptiness by allowing people to re-author their life stories.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to how past experiences and relationships shape present reactions and patterns. It can help when someone wants to understand repeating behaviours, entrenched emotional responses or long-standing difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the way she works as things change. This is a joint process where feedback and practical goals guide the plan.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow people to join from different locations. Because the specific session formats are not listed here, check the available options before booking to confirm how you will meet. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online ways of working that aim to make therapy accessible and adaptable to everyday routines.
