About Susan

Susan Zammit works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, relationship concerns and self-esteem. She uses person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches and has 11 years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Susan meets people with straightforward, calm conversation. She listens to what is happening now and what matters most, then focuses on practical steps they can try between sessions. Sessions are grounded in the person-centred view that the client is central to the work, with CBT techniques used where thinking and behaviour patterns are getting in the way.

Her background includes work in education, prisons and with bereavement services. That range of settings means she is used to working with strong emotions and complex life events. She aims to make clinical approaches clear, so people understand what happens in sessions and why certain methods are suggested.

Susan also supports people dealing with anger, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges, issues around body image and gender identity, and relationship difficulties such as infidelity and jealousy. She has experience around end-of-life and hospice matters, cancer-related distress, and divorce and separation.

Sessions draw on attachment-based ideas when relationships and attachment patterns are central to the concern. Susan explains therapeutic steps plainly and will discuss practical tasks to try between meetings.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Susan works from person-centred principles and cognitive behavioural therapy. Person-centred work focuses on the client’s own perspective, using listening and reflective conversation to clarify what matters. Cognitive behavioural work looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces practical experiments to try between sessions.

Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship history and attachment patterns are relevant, helping people understand how past relationships affect current reactions. Each approach aims to be straightforward so the client understands why a particular method is suggested and what to expect.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan discusses goals and preferences with each client and agrees which methods to use together. This collaborative decision-making helps shape session focus and any tasks to try outside sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into everyday life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to use video when that would be difficult. These practical benefits can help people maintain regular sessions alongside other commitments.
