Susan Humphreys, BACP

Susan Humphreys is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist with six years of professional experience. She works from a respectful, sensitive and compassionate stance. She focuses on listening, offering empathy and avoiding judgement to help people take the first step toward change.

Her practice supports people facing stress and anxiety and those dealing with grief or loss. She also helps with low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes such as separation or bereavement. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and pain, caregiving strain, cancer and end-of-life issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Sessions are shaped around what each person brings to the room. She aims to tailor conversations and a working plan to each client rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. The emphasis is on being heard and finding practical ways to move forward.

Susan has experience helping people talk through commitment worries, jealousy, forgiveness, guilt and life-purpose questions. She also supports those navigating divorce and separation and people living with autism and Asperger Syndrome who want a calmer way to manage day-to-day stress.

People who value a warm, steady listener and a collaborative approach may find her style helpful. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. International clients are accepted, and practical details about sessions are confirmed when booking.

How her person-centred approach works online

Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and understanding. The therapist provides a calm, accepting space for you to talk. This approach can help with grief, anxiety and low self-esteem by encouraging self-awareness and gradual change.

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used alongside person-centred practice include supportive talking therapy and structured problem-solving. Supportive talking therapy helps people process difficult emotions and build coping skills. Structured problem-solving breaks larger worries into manageable steps to reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of control.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan to fit what helps most. You and the therapist decide together which methods suit your needs and preferences.

Details about session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy life, avoid travel and have therapy from a convenient location. It can also allow shorter check-ins on days when a full session is difficult, or offer an alternative when attending in person would be hard. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep continuity of care across distances.
