Susanna Newsome
Compassionate, clear counselling for life transitions
About Susanna
Susanna Newsome offers calm, straightforward support for people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career uncertainty, and life transitions. She introduces a gentle, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly and begin to untangle difficult feelings. Susanna is fluent in English and Italian and brings 17 years of professional experience to her counselling work.
Susanna uses a Client-Centred Therapy approach, which means she focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and tailoring conversations around their priorities.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people name what matters, increase self-understanding, and make clearer decisions about next steps. Practical concerns like workplace stress, compassion fatigue and body image are addressed alongside emotional healing. Her background includes work across the United Kingdom and Italy, and she is documented as BACP and NCPS.
That experience informs how she responds to issues such as caregiver stress, communication problems, control struggles, hoarding, immigration-related concerns, and impulsivity. Susanna is also mindful of dyslexia in adulthood and adjusts her style to suit individual needs. Therapy with Susanna often focuses on simple, concrete goals.
Conversations may include looking at everyday patterns, testing small changes, and practising clearer ways to express needs. She works collaboratively to set the pace and shape of sessions. People come for short-term help and for longer exploration.
Whether someone wants a few sessions to manage a specific problem or ongoing support to build self-love and life purpose, she helps clients find direction and steadier footing.

How Susanna’s Approach Translates Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experiences and feelings. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps people find their own answers. This approach suits issues like relationship struggles, trauma recovery, life changes, and questions about identity and purpose.Working out which approach fits best is part of the process. Susanna will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and practical needs and then agree a way forward together. That collaborative discussion helps decide whether sessions stay mainly reflective, or include more practical problem-solving and behavioural steps.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls let people read visual cues and keep a closer conversational flow. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break from work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions, or for people who prefer typing to speaking.
Registered or accredited professionals adapt these formats to suit the client’s needs and pace. Online therapy makes it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving, study, or relocation while keeping the same therapeutic aims as face-to-face work.
