About Susan

Susan McCarthy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works mainly with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and depression. She also supports people facing career decisions, self-esteem issues and family-related strains. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Her method is pragmatic and person-focused. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps clients try different ways of responding to difficult feelings and situations.

Susan pays attention to cultural background and issues related to prejudice and discrimination. She will talk through how those factors affect everyday life and relationships. She also addresses jealousy and multicultural concerns directly when these come up.

She describes the first meeting as a chance to clarify the problem, agree goals and decide how to work together. Plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while responding to each person’s pace.

Practical arrangements vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options. To start, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Evidence-based techniques are used to address current problems and feelings. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing alternative, more balanced ways of thinking. This can help with anxiety and low mood by changing how situations are interpreted.

Another approach concentrates on problem-solving and practical coping strategies. That involves breaking down difficulties into manageable steps, practising new responses and reviewing what helps in daily life. This is often useful for stress, career concerns and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be revised as progress is reviewed.

Please confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, as the original biography does not list them. Online work can make appointments easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals use these practical benefits to help sessions fit everyday life.
