Susanna "Susan" Abraham
Experienced counsellor offering practical emotional support
About Susanna
Susanna "Susan" Abraham draws on 15 years of practice to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and grief. Susan describes her work as collaborative and practical, focused on small steps that add up to meaningful change.
She creates a calm space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, building everyday coping skills and finding clearer ways to manage emotions.
Background and approach
Susan aims to restore hope and strengthen resilience so clients can move toward goals that feel right for them. Susan uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape feelings.
She uses client-centred communication to keep the room person-led and respectful. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used where practical thinking and behaviour changes can help reduce distress. People come to her for many issues including relationship strain, parenting stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, career worries, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
She also supports those coping with bereavement, trauma, abuse and life transitions such as separation or ageing concerns. Susan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled by the client. The process is aimed at finding a good therapeutic fit and workable plans for the next steps.

How Susan’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns. Online sessions can help notice those patterns, address insecurity and build healthier ways of relating to others.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows the client's lead, offering empathy and space for people to explore their priorities and choices.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, gives practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Through video or messaging, clients can work on goal-setting, behavioural experiments and simple in-the-moment strategies to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that suit each client's needs. This is a collaborative process with adjustments made as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls are useful for deeper conversational work, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging can help keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel.
