About Susanna
Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a counsellor with 15 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about their next step. Susan offers a calm, compassionate space where clients can talk through what matters most to them and set practical goals.
Her approach puts the person in the centre of the work. Sessions begin by listening closely to the client's story and identifying a few clear goals.
Background and approach
Susan then works collaboratively to try out new ways of coping, reduce stress, and strengthen emotional resilience. Susan draws on approaches that include attachment-based ideas, client-centred principles and cognitive behavioural techniques. She uses these in plain language and tailors them to the needs brought into the room.
The focus can be on managing anxiety, grief, addictions, parenting challenges, or everyday life changes. She also helps people with relationship concerns, self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, and work-related strain. Additional interests include attachment issues, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics and bereavement.
Sessions can include practical exercises, reflective conversation and short homework between meetings. Susan offers therapy by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
People can expect straightforward guidance about next steps and a collaborative plan to move forward.

How Susan's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can help people notice recurring patterns, name emotional reactions and practise new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy prioritises the client's pace and perspective. In remote sessions that can mean a lot of reflective listening, gentle questioning and support to find the answers that feel right to the client. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks difficulties into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques can be taught and practised during video calls or through written work between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Susan collaborates with each person to decide which ideas to use, based on their goals and how they respond. She will suggest options, try things out and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments while keeping the work consistent and focused.
