Susannah "Susy" Rudkin
Calm the mind, build steady confidence
About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self esteem, relationship difficulties, anger or repeated unhelpful patterns. She supports those struggling with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Susy works with practical issues too, including sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career worries and intimacy-related concerns. Susy uses clear, down-to-earth methods rather than technical jargon.
Background and approach
She aims to calm emotional reactivity and reduce overthinking. Sessions focus on what can be done now to build confidence and clearer thinking. Clients get tools to break cycles and to notice the beliefs that hold them back.
Her background includes 17 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That experience informs a style that is both warm and goal-oriented. Susy combines talking work with practical exercises you can use between sessions.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Those approaches are used to help with emotion regulation, changing unhelpful thoughts and improving relationships with self and others. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines.
Susy works with each person to set simple, realistic goals and to practise skills that build steady change over time.

Sessions & fees
How Susy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from rumination. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships affect current reactions and connections, and it can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and trust concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods collaboratively. Adjustments are made as needed, so sessions stay aligned with the person’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can be a good fit when video would be difficult or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for people who prefer writing or need to fit therapy around a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
