About Susan

Susan Vincent MSc helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She uses a mix of talking approaches and focuses on practical steps to support coping and emotional recovery. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has 23 years of experience.

Susan works in a straightforward way. She listens to what is worrying someone and then discusses which methods might help. That could mean gently looking at past patterns, exploring meaning and values, or identifying small changes to try between sessions.

Her training includes approaches that put the client’s experience first and that attend to feelings, thinking and behaviour. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s perspective, Solution-Focused Therapy to set achievable goals, and Trauma-Focused and psychodynamic ideas when past events affect current wellbeing.

Susan also helps with more specific challenges such as ageing and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, cancer-related distress, and end-of-life or hospice matters. She offers support around divorce, infidelity, guilt, shame and isolation as well as career stress and midlife reassessment.

Sessions aim to be practical and readable. Conversations address clear, manageable steps alongside space to talk about feelings. People who want to begin are asked to use the website matching process to schedule an initial appointment.

How her approaches fit with online counselling

Susan draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully to the person’s experience and helping them find their own answers. This approach is useful when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make sense of what matters to them.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps and short-term goals. That method suits people who want concrete changes or clearer coping strategies for stress, work or relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. This collaborative planning can be reviewed as work progresses.

If you want to use online sessions please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option for calls.
