About Susan
Susan Gibson is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and self-esteem concerns. She brings ten years of professional experience and the NCPS credential to her work. Her style focuses on listening carefully and helping clients feel heard as they talk through difficult feelings.
Taking the first step can feel hard and she aims to make that step easier. In sessions she creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore practical steps forward.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and work on small changes. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to find their own reasons and drive for change. Susan also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe painful stories and see options they may have missed.
Psychodynamic ideas are used when looking at how past experiences shape current reactions. The blend of approaches is adapted to each person’s needs and goals. She has worked with issues including compassion fatigue, relationship struggles such as jealousy and infidelity, abandonment and attachment concerns, and the emotional effects of divorce and separation.
She also supports people facing family problems, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, impulsivity and control issues. Susan practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If you want to begin, the site’s process helps match you and schedule a first appointment based on availability.

How Susan works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. Sessions can blend person-centred listening with CBT exercises or narrative pieces depending on what the person needs and wants.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family commitments and to check in from a convenient location. The profile does not list the session formats offered, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
