Susan McGrattan , NCPS

Susan McGrattan is a licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience and the NCPS credential, a professional qualification that signals training and recognised standards in counselling practice.

Susan works with adults, children, teenagers and students, offering personalized, integrated counselling that is shaped around each person's circumstances. She supports people facing stress and anxiety, bereavement and loss, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-harm and low self-esteem, and a range of other concerns. Her approach encourages exploration of the underlying issues that often drive repeated patterns of worry or distress, with the goal of building practical emotional coping tools and greater resilience.

Susan sees therapy as a collaborative journey that places the client at the centre of their own story. She aims to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can reflect, process difficult experiences and work toward meaningful change. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Susan’s practice focuses on meeting people where they are and supporting steady, achievable progress.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Connection

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to live in alignment with what matters most. It supports work with anxiety, stress and life transitions by focusing on meaningful actions rather than symptom elimination.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that explores the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviours. It is often useful for managing anxiety, depression and unhelpful coping patterns by developing new skills for thinking and responding differently.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in connections and intimacy. It can be particularly helpful for relationship challenges, attachment issues and trauma-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Susan works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She partners with each person to tailor sessions so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals from different locations and at times that suit their schedules. This range of formats supports continuity of care and makes it easier to fit meaningful therapy into everyday life.
