Susan Zammit, BACP

Susan Zammit helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns and major life changes. She supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, depression and attention difficulties. Susan also works with issues such as body image, attachment worries, gender dysphoria and the impact of serious illness.

Susan uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.

Her background includes work in prisons, education settings and with The National Bereavement Partnership. That range of experience informs how she supports people through loss, trauma and big life shifts. She has 11 years of professional experience and holds BACP membership.

Susan aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. She emphasises clear goals and a collaborative working pace. The emphasis is on steady, achievable change rather than quick fixes.

People usually start by talking about what they want to change. From there Susan and the person agree goals and ways to work on them. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted when needed.

How Susan’s approaches translate to online work

Susan draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural methods to shape her work. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships affect current bonds and helps when trust or closeness feels difficult. Client-Centred practice focuses on listening and building a non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical techniques to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then agree which methods to use. This makes the process collaborative and tailored to what a person actually needs.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking. Confirming formats ensures arrangements fit daily life. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around other commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can support the same therapeutic tasks as in-person work, such as managing anxiety, coping with grief and practising new coping skills, while adapting pace and exercises to suit remote sessions.
