About Susan
Susan John offers a calm, practical approach that blends talking therapies with body-focused techniques. She uses hypnotherapy alongside client-centred and emotionally-focused methods to help people reduce stress and manage anxiety. Susan keeps sessions straightforward and approachable, so people can focus on small, useful changes.
Susan has four years of counselling experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She believes people bring strengths they can use to move forward. Her work is rooted in listening carefully and helping clients notice how feelings show up in the body.
Background and approach
Sessions often begin with what feels most pressing. Susan helps people build short-term coping strategies for the here and now. She also supports deeper work when a client wants to explore wounds, patterns and attachment issues.
Common concerns she sees include low mood, anger, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports people with identity questions, career stress, eating or sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Hypnotherapy may be used as one tool to access calmer states and reduce physical tension.
Susan aims for a warm, non-judgemental space and works in an integrative way. That means she adapts methods to fit the person in front of her. People are encouraged to take an active part, set goals, and track small gains between sessions.

Online support
Approaches that suit online counselling
Susan combines hypnotherapy, client-centred work and emotionally-focused techniques into online sessions that aim to be practical and grounded. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help reduce physical tension and support behaviour change. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the client’s own goals to help them make sense of feelings and develop coping choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to patterns of feeling in relationships and helps people notice and change unhelpful interaction habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will listen to your needs and goals and suggest which methods might help most. She views therapy as a collaboration, so choices about techniques are made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and deeper dialogue, phone sessions can be quicker or easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, travel or family commitments while keeping the focus on what you want to work on.
