Susan Kinsella-Brice, BACP

Susan Kinsella-Brice offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She names the issues she commonly helps with and listens without judgment. Her approach is steady and straightforward, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward. She works from the belief that each person understands their own story best. Sessions focus on building on strengths and finding small, manageable steps for change. Conversations are practical and paced to suit the person in the room. Susan has 14 years of experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom. She uses several approaches to fit different needs, including client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person's perspective and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques that look at thoughts and actions. Emotional patterns and relationship concerns are explored with an emotionally focused lens when that feels helpful. Mindfulness and existential ideas are offered for people who want space to reflect on meaning, values and life choices. Susan also supports people facing issues such as addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, work-related stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. She makes space for difficult topics like trauma, abandonment and eating-related concerns, and helps people map out realistic next steps. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Susan describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help each person find a clearer way forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's own goals. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say and helps them notice their own strengths and values. This approach is useful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks problems into manageable steps and offers practical techniques people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to identify and work with core emotional experiences. It helps people name difficult feelings and try new ways of responding when emotions lead to conflict or distress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt techniques that best fit those aims. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels realistic and useful. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments. It can reduce the time needed for travel and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as formats are set by the therapist and may vary.
