About Susan

Susan Vincent MSc is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 23 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, depression, career doubts, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as compassion fatigue and questions about life purpose.

Susan keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She listens without judgement and encourages practical steps alongside reflective conversation. Clients can expect conversations that look at feelings, past patterns, and current choices to find what is most helpful next.

Her approach draws on several therapeutic methods. Client-Centred Therapy means the client’s experience directs the work. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small changes that make daily life easier. Psychodynamic and Existential ideas may be used to examine recurring patterns and questions of meaning.

Susan’s work covers a range of life events that often come together – illness, ageing, bereavement, relationship breakdown and career change. She also supports people coping with blended family dynamics, communication problems, guilt and shame, and end-of-life matters.

Sessions are in English and are based in the United Kingdom. The cost of sessions varies with location and is delivered through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Susan commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s experience so they can make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits people who need a held space to talk through uncertainty or low confidence.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical changes that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. That method is useful when someone wants concrete steps to address career doubts, anxious moments or relationship frustrations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will discuss options and try different ways of working based on your needs, goals and preferences. The decision about which methods to use is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when life is busy, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use different approaches to make remote sessions practical and relevant to everyday life.
