Susanna Newsome, BACP, NCPS

Susanna Newsome brings 17 years of professional experience to her practice, working from a foundation of client-centered care and trauma awareness. She is credentialed in both the United Kingdom and Italy and offers sessions in English and Italian, meeting clients in the language that best supports their expression. She holds BACP and NCPS registrations, professional credentials that reflect adherence to recognised counselling and psychotherapy standards.

Susanna specialises in relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career challenges and coping with major life changes, and she also works with issues such as compassion fatigue, body image and caregiver stress. She is trauma informed and attentive to the needs of adults with dyslexia, adapting her approach to reduce barriers to engagement. Her practice emphasises creating an open, non-judgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely.

Beginning therapy can require courage, and Susanna aims to support each person through that first step and beyond. She works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, build resilience and find more fulfilling ways of relating to themselves and others. She is based in the United Kingdom and is available to work with international clients.

Client-Centered Care and Accessible Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and direction of work. The therapist listens deeply, reflects understanding and helps people explore their feelings and values to find their own solutions; this approach is helpful for relationship challenges, life transitions and building self-compassion.

Susanna also works from a trauma-informed perspective, which means she recognises how past experiences can shape reactions and relationships and adapts her way of working to avoid re-traumatisation. This approach supports people dealing with trauma, abuse and ongoing stress by emphasising safety, choice and pacing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susanna collaborates with each client to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. She helps clients experiment with methods and adjusts the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Susanna is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without needing to travel, helping people maintain momentum during periods of change or when balancing work and caregiving commitments.
