Susan Gibson, NCPS

Susan Gibson is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people who are under a lot of stress or feeling anxious. She brings ten years of professional experience and the NCPS credential to her work. Clients often come for help with low self-esteem, motivation, career worries, trauma and compassion fatigue. She aims to make it easier to take the first step toward change by offering an open and non-judgemental space.

Her style is practical and conversational. She listens first and follows the pace set by the person in the room. When helpful, she uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns in thinking and behaviour, and narrative techniques to reframe difficult stories about the self.

Susan also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns such as attachment struggles or feelings of abandonment. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding direction or building commitment to change. These methods are mixed to suit each person’s concerns and goals.

She has worked with people facing infidelity, jealousy, isolation, guilt and shame, and the aftermath of separation. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. The NCPS credential is recorded exactly as provided.

Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are arranged according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead. Online sessions using this approach often prioritise warmth, reflective listening and helping people feel heard even when they are not in the same room. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers clear steps for spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviours; it can help with anxiety, stress and low mood by using practical exercises and short between-session tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be blended and adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also make short practical tasks and worksheets easier to share and review during sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide whether remote sessions suit a person’s needs and life rhythm.
