About Shushanik
Shushanik Gasparyan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Armenian and she has experience with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, grief, addictions and issues around eating and sleeping.
She previously worked in agency settings as a psychologist for seven years, and has collaborated with organisations such as Save the Children and UNICEF on child abuse projects. That background informs a practical, person-focused way of working. She draws on several therapeutic approaches to match how someone prefers to talk and think about their difficulties.
In sessions she uses ideas from Client-Centred work, Narrative therapy and Psychodynamic thinking to help people understand patterns and feelings that feel stuck. Conversations aim to make sense of personal stories and the relationships that shape them. The emphasis is on clear, down-to-earth discussion rather than jargon.
She also lists support for issues such as ADHD, anger, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, and personality-related concerns. People often come to address communication problems, codependency, isolation or struggles with life purpose. Shushanik describes her approach as integrative, picking methods that fit each person’s situation.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session is the route she uses. The service relies on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with cost varying by location.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs clearer self-understanding and a calmer way to talk about emotions such as anger.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. Changing the language around those stories can reduce shame, shift blame patterns, and open up different ways to handle frustration and relationship conflict.
Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to recurring patterns and past experiences that shape reactions now. This can help when anger seems to come from repeated themes or relationship dynamics rather than a single event.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then try ways of working that match those needs. That conversation is part of the early sessions rather than a fixed plan handed down.
The original profile does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions slot into a lunch break or evening. Registered and accredited professionals commonly use online sessions to keep therapy practical for everyday life.
