About Susan
Susan uses a blend of evidence-based approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work around connection and early relationship patterns.
Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens for what matters most and helps people try small, doable steps between meetings. Clients can expect straightforward tools for communication, emotion management and problem solving rather than lengthy theory talks.
Her work includes parents who feel overwhelmed, people coping with separation or divorce, and those tired of low motivation or constant worry. She has experience with family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress and forgiveness work. Pre-marital conversations and relationship skills using the Gottman Method are also part of her practice.
Susan speaks English and Shona. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Susan uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what they value and take small actions that match those values even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. It is useful for motivation problems, persistent worry and feelings of emptiness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It gives practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and self-esteem issues.
Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on relationship patterns and how early connections shape current interactions. It can be helpful when relationship trust, abandonment fears or family of origin issues cause repeated conflict or emotional distance.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as different problems are worked on.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or study commitments.
