Susan Gibson

Susan Gibson is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and compassion fatigue. Susan offers a calm, straightforward way of working for those feeling stuck or unsure what comes next.

She uses person-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural methods to help people make clear, practical changes. Sessions focus on everyday problems and on the thoughts and choices that keep those problems repeating. Susan also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to help people clarify values and rethink unhelpful stories about themselves.

People come to her with relationship wounds such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, infidelity, jealousy, and family problems. She also supports those dealing with domestic violence, separation and divorce, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Susan describes these concerns plainly and works to untangle what is most pressing.

Her approach tends to be conversational and goal-focused. Sessions look at what someone wants to change, what has already been tried, and practical next steps. Cognitive tools are used where thoughts are making problems worse, and narrative work helps people reframe patterns that keep them stuck.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and then booking a first session. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches guide online work

Susan blends client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to address practical life problems. Client-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening and supporting a person to find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect behaviour and mood; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns that keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan treats deciding what to try as a joint process. She will discuss options, try approaches that fit your goals, and adjust based on what helps most in practice.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the session types available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. They also make it possible to meet with a registered or accredited professional from another location, which can be useful for people who have recently moved or who need to work around different time zones.
