About Susan
Susan Spooner is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem difficulties and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English.
Susan frames clients as the experts on their own stories. She focuses on identifying strengths and small steps that make challenges more manageable. She aims to make the first steps towards change less daunting for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
In practice she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, such as unhelpful beliefs or strained communication. She helps people notice reactions to stress and develop clearer ways to cope. This can involve talking through painful memories, reducing panic symptoms, or learning ways to rebuild confidence after loss or separation.
When trauma or abuse is part of the picture she works at a pace set by the person seeking help. With grief and loss she supports ways to acknowledge what’s been lost while finding day-to-day ways to manage. With issues like guilt, shame or isolation she helps people name those feelings and take practical steps to change them.
She also attends to attachment and communication problems that affect relationships and general wellbeing. Before booking, people should confirm current session formats and any practical details they need to know.

How evidence-based methods are used in remote sessions
Online work with this counsellor draws on clearly defined, evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, then practising small changes to reduce anxiety and panic. This helps people who notice persistent worry or panic attacks by giving concrete steps to try between meetings.Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress through paced, person-led conversation and stabilisation skills. It aims to reduce overwhelming reactions and build practical coping strategies for everyday life. A third strand involves grief-focused support that combines remembering and practical problem solving for day-to-day routines.
Choosing the right method is part of the collaborative work. The counsellor will discuss options with the person, try approaches that fit their goals, and adjust as needed. Decisions are based on the client’s needs, preferences and responses in sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so people should confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy or audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited.
