About Susan
Susan Chown works from a client-centred perspective to help people who are facing painful life issues. She emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental approach and supports clients to draw on their own strengths. Susan has BACP accreditation and brings ten years of professional experience in the UK.
She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related difficulties. Susan also helps with self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addictions and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar.
Background and approach
Other areas she covers include sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger and career pressures. Clients may come with complex patterns such as attachment or abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems or history of domestic violence. She also works with people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, ageing and bereavement.
Susan addresses substance use and relapse concerns alongside emotional and behavioural struggles. Her style is straightforward and person-centred. Sessions are aimed at listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person and helping them find clearer ways forward.
Susan encourages practical steps that fit into everyday life while respecting each person's pace. Many people seek help when a single problem has grown into many pressures. Susan helps untangle those pressures so clients can make decisions they feel comfortable with.

Approaches Susan lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Susan works online
The therapist will work collaboratively to find an approach that fits each person's needs and goals. That means discussing what feels helpful, trying different ways of talking about problems and adjusting the focus over time. The client and counsellor decide together what to try next and how to measure progress.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. It can make regular check-ins simpler without needing travel time, and it can allow shorter or more flexible appointments around work or caregiving commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find that online work lets them keep therapy steady while managing everyday responsibilities.
