Susan Gibson
Calm, practical help for overwhelmed parents
About Susan
Susan Gibson uses a client-centred approach to help people find practical ways forward. She aims to build a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what is worrying them. Her style is warm and straightforward so parents can quickly see how sessions work.
With ten years' experience, Susan helps with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, self‑esteem and work-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and challenges such as abandonment, attachment issues and codependency.
Background and approach
She addresses emotional problems that often feel overwhelming, one step at a time. Sessions typically focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Susan uses tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and make small changes in daily life.
She also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that repeat over time. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help setting goals and finding the motivation to follow them. This approach suits those who feel stuck or unsure how to begin making changes.
Conversations aim to be collaborative and practical, not lecturing. Susan is registered as NCPS and works from the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Her approach is paced to each person’s needs and focuses on clear, manageable steps toward feeling better.

How Susan’s approaches work online
Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people lead the conversation. It supports those who need a calm space to sort out feelings and make choices about change. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thinking patterns and everyday behaviours and helps people test small changes that can reduce anxiety and stress.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Susan will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree a plan. The process is collaborative so adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation for deeper dialogue, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check‑ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family routine and to keep continuity across locations.
