About Susan
Susan Gibson is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach alongside practical therapy methods to help people feel steadier. She has ten years of experience and works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and career concerns. Susan aims to make the first steps into therapy easier and less daunting.
Her sessions focus on creating an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through their thoughts and feelings. She combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are used to strengthen motivation and reframe difficult life stories.
Susan has worked for a decade supporting people with a wide range of concerns. Her additional focus areas include issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, control problems and feelings of emptiness. She also addresses relationship ruptures like infidelity and the emotional impacts of divorce and separation.
Her practice recognises how trauma, guilt and shame can affect everyday life, and she pays attention to impulsivity, isolation and compassion fatigue where these issues appear. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused while allowing space to understand deeper patterns.
Susan holds NCPS, which is shown as NCPS. She works from the United Kingdom and offers services in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How Susan blends client-centred care with practical therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can explore feelings at their own pace. It helps when someone needs to be heard and understood before making changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and panic. It is useful for managing symptoms by learning new ways to respond to stressful thoughts and situations.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by strengthening motivation and clarifying personal goals. It pairs well with other approaches when someone wants to move from thinking about change to taking action.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences, and together you will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process can be adjusted as therapy progresses to suit what is most helpful.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to attend regularly.
