About Susanna

Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a counsellor with 15 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds the BACP credential, and she aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and difficulties with self‑esteem. Susan invites clients to bring whatever feels most pressing and to work together on practical steps forward.

Susan creates a compassionate space where people can talk through their concerns. She focuses on what matters to each person and sets collaborative goals. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful patterns and trying small, manageable changes between meetings.

Her background includes training in couple and family therapy and approaches that centre on relationships and emotions. That experience informs how she thinks about communication, attachment and connection in day‑to‑day life. Clients who are coping with life changes, chronic health concerns or caregiver stress may find this way of working relevant.

Susan uses a mix of methods such as attachment‑based work, client‑centred listening and cognitive approaches to support clearer thinking and emotion management. She also draws on emotionally focused ideas when relationship strain is a key issue. The focus is practical: improve coping, reduce overwhelm and increase moments of calm.

People can expect straightforward language and a steady pace. Susan supports discussions about grief, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and burnout. She accepts international clients and offers sessions that suit different circumstances.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment‑based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relationships, practise new ways of communicating and develop a stronger sense of safety in connections.

Client‑centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the session. The therapist listens with empathy and follows the client's pace, which helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self‑understanding or support making life decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a client's goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift and new challenges appear.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and making it easier to attend from different locations. Online therapy can reduce travel time and make brief check‑ins or regular weekly meetings simpler to keep. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as options may vary, and discuss what will work best for scheduling and the type of support wanted.
