Susan Zammit
Kind, practical counselling for life challenges
About Susan
Susan Zammit helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, eating or body-image concerns, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing relationship tension, parenting strain, identity questions including LGBT and gender dysphoria, and difficulties such as ADHD, anger, and low self-esteem. Her way of working is calm and straightforward.
Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the individual. Susan listens with respect and adapts sessions to fit each person's needs rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
Susan uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking. That means she focuses on understanding the person you are now, looks at how past connections affect current patterns, and works with practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She has worked in a range of settings including education, prisons, and with The National Bereavement Partnership.
Over eleven years in practice she has supported people through bereavement, relationship breakdown, end-of-life issues, and complex emotional problems. Susan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and can work with people in different countries.
Therapy sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit varied schedules. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions according to the available times. The process is focused on practical next steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How these approaches work online
Susan draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy, and attachment-based ideas to shape online sessions. Client-centred therapy means the person leads the conversation while the therapist listens without judgement and helps reflect what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behaviours.Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people notice and change repeating cycles in relationships. Together these approaches allow for open listening, practical steps, and attention to emotional patterns in relationships and self-view. Finding the right mix is part of the process and the therapist will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Video calls are close to face-to-face sessions and work well for longer therapy. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or those who like to write rather than speak. These options make therapy easier to schedule around work, family, and other commitments while still allowing for steady therapeutic progress.
