About Susan
Susan John offers a practical, person-centred way of working that links thoughts and bodily experience. She introduces simple, grounded techniques so people can notice feelings, name them, and begin to make different choices. Susan brings a warm and non-judgemental manner to sessions and believes people already hold strengths to build on.
She uses client-centred listening alongside emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand attachment and relationship patterns. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help reduce stress and manage anxiety.
Background and approach
Hypnotherapy is offered as an option for those who find guided imagery and focused relaxation helpful. Susan has four years of experience supporting adults with issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief and trauma. She also works with concerns around identity, LGBT issues, intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, career strain and compassion fatigue.
Additional focuses include body image, abandonment, attachment issues and relationship communication problems. Sessions are conversational and practical. Susan aims to help people identify small, manageable steps and coping strategies that fit daily life.
She also offers short-term support when the priority is present-day coping rather than longer exploration. Susan is registered with BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and NCPS. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

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
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit the person and the issue. That collaborative planning can mean trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting as things change.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It also makes access possible for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt exercises such as mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused conversations to work well across distance.
