Susan Paul
Experienced counsellor for everyday struggles
About Susan
Susan Paul is a counsellor with ten years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. She also supports those managing anger, attention difficulties such as ADHD, grief, identity questions and eating or sleeping concerns.
She begins by listening to each person’s story and recognising the strengths they already have. Her approach is practical and collaborative.
Background and approach
She helps people set small, achievable steps and notices what works in day-to-day life. Susan aims to make the therapy space straightforward and respectful. Sessions are used to talk through problems, practise new ways of coping and build confidence in decision-making.
She encourages people to try small changes between sessions and to review what helps. Over a decade in practice has given her experience with parenting stresses, compassion fatigue and life transitions. That experience is used to tailor sessions to what each person needs now, whether they are dealing with recent loss or long-standing patterns.
People who choose Susan can expect a steady, non-judgemental tone and clear practical suggestions. The focus is on helping people manage symptoms and regain a sense of control. Progress is reviewed together so plans are adjusted as needed.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you can expect and how online sessions help
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in this practice include cognitive approaches and behavioural strategies. Cognitive approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood. Behavioural strategies focus on small actions - for example activity scheduling or sleep routines - that can make a real difference to mood and energy levels.Another common strand is problem-focused work that helps with practical difficulties such as anger management, parenting stress or coping with grief. This involves identifying clear goals, trying manageable steps between sessions and reviewing what helps most over time.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will ask about the issues that matter most, your goals and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods that suit your needs and adjust them as you go so the work fits your life and preferences.
Online therapy here can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls let you see and hear each other, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for check-ins, brief conversations or when writing helps you reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy around busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
