Shushanik Gasparyan, BACP

Shushanik Gasparyan is a counsellor who focuses on helping people regain calm and balance. She uses warm, person-focused care to guide conversations about anxiety, stress, trauma and relationship concerns. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and work through, so everyday life feels more manageable.

Shushanik draws on eight years of experience working in agency settings and with international organisations such as Save The Children and UNICEF. That background has given her experience with issues like depression, anger, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, and other trauma-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges linked to attention and concentration.

Her way of working mixes Client-Centred Therapy with Narrative and Psychodynamic approaches. In practice that means she listens closely, helps people tell their story in new ways, and looks at how past patterns influence present reactions. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Shushanik is comfortable working with multicultural concerns, identity questions, jealousy and codependency, as well as personality-related difficulties and obsessive-compulsive issues. She offers sessions in English and Armenian and accepts international clients.

To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions through the service. The subscription can be cancelled at any time and session cost varies depending on location and therapist availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people feel understood; it suits worries like low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship strain by creating space to speak openly. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by rewriting the story they tell about difficult experiences, which can be useful for issues such as trauma, shame or jealousy. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and early experiences; it can help when old reactions keep appearing in current life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. They aim to try methods collaboratively and adjust the focus as things change over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into busy schedules, makes it easier to continue during life changes, and allows for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to suit practical needs, such as pacing conversations differently or using phone instead of video depending on what works best for the person.
