Susan Hewitt, BACP

Susan Hewitt is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties and concerns about self-esteem. She has 13 years of UK practice and works with clients on issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and intimacy-related worries. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about painful or confusing feelings without judgment.

Susan builds a calm, open space where people can name what is happening for them and try out different ways of coping. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding how past experiences shape current reactions. She uses listening and reflection to help clients spot patterns that cause distress and to find new options.

Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns, from sleep and eating difficulties to career strain and managing life changes. Susan combines ideas from attachment work, cognitive behavioural thinking and client-focused listening to suit each person’s needs. She also draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques to help with emotion regulation and personal storytelling.

Susan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. BACP denotes registration with that professional body. She practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Susan draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. This work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people try different ways of connecting and responding.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing more balanced ways of thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives clear tools to change reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to agree which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That may mean mixing listening-focused sessions with practical exercises between meetings so progress feels relevant to daily life.

If you are considering online work, check the current session options before booking. Confirm whether sessions are held by video, phone or another format and choose what fits your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can access help from different locations.
