About Susan
Susan Walker is a counsellor with 25 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain and addiction. She speaks English and accepts international clients, offering several ways to meet so people can choose what feels workable for them.
Susan keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then shapes a plan with each person’s goals in mind.
Background and approach
That plan can include gentle hypnotherapy, talking therapy rooted in Client-Centred principles, or active techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Her background includes long-term practice working with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, and intimacy-related problems. She also works with issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, and first responder issues.
Her wider focus covers communication and control issues, dissociation, and recovery after domestic violence or separation. Susan aims for practical tools as well as space to reflect. That might mean learning breathing and grounding exercises, testing small behaviour changes between sessions, or using reflective conversation to make sense of difficult feelings.
She adjusts techniques to each person rather than following one fixed method. People who choose her can expect clear explanations about the approaches they try, simple actions to practise between sessions, and a calm, respectful tone in appointments. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
How approaches like hypnotherapy and ACT work online
Susan uses a few different methods depending on a person’s needs. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people reduce anxiety, change habits or manage emotional reactions; it is presented in a calm, step-by-step way. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions, which can be useful for stress, depression and relationship decisions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental conversation so people can explore what matters to them and find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss options and try methods collaboratively, tailoring the mix of techniques to a person’s goals and preferences rather than imposing a single route. That means reviewing what helps and adjusting the plan over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people send notes between sessions or have brief exchanges without scheduling a call. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caring duties and travel.
