Susan Walker , BACP

Susan Walker offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and relationship worries. She explains things simply and helps clients take small, steady steps towards clearer choices. Susan presents herself with warmth and respect and aims to make the first step less daunting.

She draws on 25 years of experience working across a wide range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues and eating difficulties. Susan also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, blended family problems and first responder issues.

Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with practical tools to manage mood, cope with change and improve communication. Techniques come from cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, dialectical skills and hypnotherapy, chosen to match the person’s needs.

Susan is registered with the BACP, which is noted as her professional credential. She works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. International clients can be seen when schedules allow.

Starting is straightforward: prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. Susan will work with each person to set realistic aims, track progress and adapt methods as needed.

Online approaches that suit everyday life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental dialogue where the counsellor follows the person’s lead and helps them make sense of their experience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps find what feels most helpful rather than assuming one method will suit everyone.

Online therapy gives flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are close to face-to-face meetings and suit deeper conversations. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a walk-and-talk style check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, homework suggestions and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
