About Susan
Susan Chown is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with over 10 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing anxiety, stress, addiction and anger.
Susan uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. Sessions aim to make space for clear talk about painful experiences and current triggers. She helps people identify patterns, understand their feelings, and practise different ways of responding to stress or conflict.
Her work also covers practical life strains such as parenting pressures, career worries and sleep or eating difficulties. Susan helps people manage the fallout from major changes, including divorce, bereavement and health problems. She can also discuss coping with compassion fatigue and long-term caregiving responsibilities.
People who want to address unresolved attachment issues, body image or control and communication problems can bring those concerns into sessions. Susan’s background includes supporting clients with mood conditions such as depression and bipolar alongside ADHD-related challenges.
She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the site’s matching process to book a first session and find out which practical session options suit their life and schedule.
How sessions work
How client-centred therapy translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits issues such as relationship tensions, grief, anxiety and anger because it focuses on understanding feelings and personal strengths.Working online does not change that core method. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which approaches and practical techniques might help, based on the client’s goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the plan if something is not helping.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins on stressful days or to choose formats that use less data or no video if that helps with focus. Since specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available options before booking so you know how sessions will be carried out and what best fits your routine.
