About Susanna
Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of practice experience. She describes her work as creating a compassionate space where people can bring difficult thoughts and feelings and start to make practical change. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on building hope, strength and everyday coping skills.
Susan aims to help people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and grief.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with addictions, trauma and relationship concerns. Issues such as sleep or eating problems, low self-esteem, career strain and compassion fatigue are within her stated areas of interest. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working, alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and elements from emotionally focused and existential therapy.
In practice this means she listens to what matters to you, helps you notice patterns, and works with you to try new ways of responding when life feels stuck. Susan says she and each client set goals together and plan steps that fit the person’s daily life.
Therapy can involve noticing thoughts and feelings, trying short practical exercises between sessions, and practising new communication or coping strategies. The intention is to increase resilience and reduce ongoing distress.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, holds a diploma in integrative counselling and a graduate certificate in couple and family therapy, and notes experience supporting people with a wide range of personal and relational concerns.

How Susanna works online
Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, mirrors what is felt and helps people find their own answers, which can be helpful for stress, low self-esteem and life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Susan will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences and will recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
The original biography lists messaging, phone and video as service options; please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that regular remote sessions help keep momentum between appointments while still working on the same practical goals as face-to-face therapy.
