About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who feel stuck by easing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She works with issues such as trauma, addiction, grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting pressures, bipolar and depression. Susy also supports people facing career change, compassion fatigue, attention difficulties and intimacy-related worries.
Susy uses straightforward, practical work rather than lengthy analysis. She focuses on spotting the hidden beliefs and reactions that keep someone stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to calm emotional reactivity, break self-sabotaging cycles and rebuild trust in yourself. The tone is calm, present and focused on useful tools. She trained as an iPEC Energy Leadership Coach and holds the Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner credential, plus qualification as a Neurolinguistic Practitioner and as an Integrative Counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
These backgrounds are used to guide mindset and empowerment work alongside counselling approaches. In sessions Susy combines methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy with attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working. That mix is used to help people develop clarity and practical skills they can use day to day.
The emphasis is on small, achievable changes. People who come to Susy tend to want tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She invites anyone curious to explore their patterns to start with a short Clarity Call to see whether this way of working fits their needs.

How Susannah works online
Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to test methods and adjust the plan based on the person's needs, goals and preferences rather than assuming one model fits everyone.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can still make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It also lets people use tools and exercises during the session that can be practised immediately afterwards. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor session frequency and length to match work, family and daily routines.
