About Susan
Susan Vincent MSc is a UK counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 23 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and trauma. She also supports those dealing with career questions, life changes and compassion fatigue, and lists guilt and shame among the issues she addresses.
Susan keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. She listens to the story a person brings and helps them name the feelings beneath it. Conversations look at patterns, current struggles and small steps that can make day-to-day life easier.
Her approach draws on client-centred work that places the person's perspective at the heart of sessions. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice how past experience can shape present reactions. Solution-focused moments help pick out immediate coping moves to try between meetings.
People often come with questions about grief, relationships or feeling stuck in a midlife or career change. Susan helps unpack guilt and shame alongside these concerns, discussing how those feelings affect choices and relationships. She offers practical ways to notice and respond to harsh self-judgement.
Susan practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The counsellor listens without directing and helps the person find their own understanding of what they want to change. This approach can help when someone needs clearer self-understanding around guilt or relationship concerns.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences influence current feelings and reactions. It can bring attention to recurring patterns that keep shame or self-blame active, and help someone reflect on why those patterns repeat.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences and will adjust the focus as understanding grows. Decisions about pacing and tasks are collaborative and reviewed over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. They can also help if quieter surroundings are easier to arrange or if someone prefers not to use video. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a range of session rhythms to match everyday commitments.
