Susan Kinsella-Brice , BACP

Susan Kinsella-Brice is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She works with people coping with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and motivation. Susan uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people find their own strengths and next steps.

Susan has 14 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She believes the person in the room knows their story best, and she offers a steady presence while people make sense of difficult events. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and rebuild confidence.

Her approach draws on a mix of talking therapies that fit different needs. That can mean exploring emotions, spotting unhelpful thought patterns, or practising attention and breathing to calm the body. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual.

Susan also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career questions, and issues linked to chronic illness or caregiving. She aims to help people set realistic goals and try small, manageable changes between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom and are available online in a range of formats. If someone is unsure where to begin, Susan encourages a short conversation to explain how she works and what to expect.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping people feel heard. It aims to create space for people to explore their thoughts and feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying patterns of thought that make problems worse and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties because it gives simple tools to try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through strong emotions, which can improve how they manage grief, loss and relationship-related worries. It supports clearer communication with oneself and others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try methods that suit the person. That partnership is used to check progress and adjust the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is low. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and mobility needs.
