Susan Spooner, BACP

Susan Spooner is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem challenges, and life changes, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support practical coping and emotional healing.

Susan approaches each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on existing strengths to navigate difficult moments. She values a collaborative working relationship that encourages openness, self-compassion, and steady progress toward goals. Her practice also addresses related areas such as attachment difficulties, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Susan offers a professional, person-centered approach tailored to the needs and preferences of each individual. She aims to create a supportive space where people can explore feelings, develop new skills, and take steps toward greater well-being and resilience.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common strand in her work involves structured, skills-based interventions that help people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour and develop coping strategies for anxiety, panic, and low self-esteem. These techniques aim to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning.

She also offers trauma-informed, supportive therapy that helps individuals process painful experiences and build resilience at a pace that feels safe. This kind of approach can be helpful for people coping with past abuse, post-traumatic stress, or complex grief by focusing on stabilization, emotional regulation, and gradual exploration of difficult memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Susan collaborates with each person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling, access from home, and the ability to continue work through life transitions. These options make it easier to receive consistent support while choosing the format that feels most comfortable.
