About Susan
Susan Chambers is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and challenges around intimacy and family. Susan also helps people dealing with career change, anger, and life transitions including midlife questions and searching for life purpose.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions are organised so people can talk through what feels most urgent. Susan listens for patterns such as abandonment or attachment issues, codependency, or avoidance, and she helps people notice how those patterns affect day-to-day choices.
Trauma-focused work is used when past events continue to cause distress. That means addressing trauma symptoms and the practical ways they show up now. Client-Centred Therapy underpins much of her approach, giving the person space to lead while she reflects and asks practical questions.
Susan also supports people coping with caregiver stress, dissociation, domestic violence histories, and substance issues including drug and alcohol addiction. She will talk about coping skills, boundaries, and small steps to change routines that feed low mood or isolation.
People meet Susan when they feel stuck after a change at work, in relationships, or health. Conversations tend to focus on what can be done next, clearer short-term goals, and ways to reduce day-to-day distress so decisions feel easier.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and priorities. The counsellor listens, reflects, and follows the pace set by the person so topics such as self-esteem, career questions or life purpose can be explored in a way that feels manageable. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of past hurt and abuse on current life. It looks at how trauma shows up now and uses focused work to reduce those reactions and support practical coping.Finding the right approach is something she treats as a collaborative process. She will discuss options with the person, test what feels helpful, and adjust methods based on goals and how someone responds. That shared decision-making helps shape the focus of sessions over time.
The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people choose quieter or lower-bandwidth options if they prefer not to use video. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often adapt tools and exercises so they work well in remote sessions and to help people make steady progress without major disruption to daily life.
