About Susan
Susan Gibson is a NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of therapeutic experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. Susan works in English and accepts international clients.
Susan describes her work as person-centred. She listens to what matters most to each person and follows their lead in sessions. She encourages honest talk about feelings and thoughts so practical next steps can be identified together.
Her practice also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going. That can mean testing small changes between sessions and tracking what makes a difference. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck about choices, to clarify values and build momentum for change.
Narrative and psychodynamic approaches appear in her work when exploring how past events shape beliefs and behaviour now. That can help with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and guilt. Susan uses these approaches to help people make sense of repeating patterns and to consider alternative ways forward.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Susan aims to help people think through options for work, relationships and wellbeing after big life changes. To start, people select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online this means sessions are conversational, with the counsellor helping to clarify concerns and priorities so the client leads what to work on. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and tests small behavioural changes between meetings to see what helps. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about decisions by exploring values and building motivation for next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as sessions progress in a collaborative way.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, family or health demands because they remove travel and can be scheduled more flexibly. Some formats may suit quieter conversations, while others make it easier to keep sessions brief around a lunch break or to avoid using video when that is not needed.
