Susan WalkerBACP

Susan Walker is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with BACP accreditation and 25 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and grief, and those managing relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Susan aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, practical guidance and straightforward conversation.

She works in a respectful, sensitive way and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. That means talking through what matters most to the client and agreeing clear goals together. Her approach combines evidence-informed methods and listening so people feel understood and heard.

Susan has long experience helping people cope with life changes, parenting strain, family problems and separation issues. She also works with concerns such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, communication problems and first responder stress. Her background includes a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties linked to trauma, eating issues and anger.

Therapeutic techniques used include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and hypnotherapy. These are chosen and adapted to fit the person and their current situation rather than offered as a fixed package.

Susan accepts clients from the UK and internationally in English. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire when they start, then schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them. It supports values-based actions and can help with anxiety, stress and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to create space for change and self-discovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss options and help decide which methods match the person's needs and goals. That collaborative process means techniques can be blended or adapted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or fitting a short check-in during a work break. It can also allow flexibility for people living abroad, since Susan accepts international clients. Practical advantages include easier scheduling, the option for shorter or longer sessions where suitable, and the ability to use exercises and resources together during the session.
