Susan Paul , BACP

Susan Paul is a UK-based, BACP-credentialed practitioner with ten years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She works with issues including stress and anxiety, anger management, low self-esteem, self-harm, depression, bereavement, identity concerns, ADD/ADHD, and health-related difficulties. Her practice also addresses related areas such as parenting, eating and sleeping problems, coping with life changes, family matters, compassion fatigue, and LGBT concerns.

Susan approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and already holds strengths that can be used toward change. She values the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and aims to provide steady support and practical empowerment throughout that process. By combining evidence-based techniques with a collaborative, person-centred stance, she helps clients identify goals, build skills, and explore underlying patterns that contribute to distress.

Susan offers a respectful, empathetic space where clients can work at their own pace toward clearer coping strategies and improved wellbeing. As a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) credential holder, she brings professional standards and ten years of experience to her practice.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care

Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine structured skills work with reflective exploration. One common approach she uses focuses on skills-based strategies - practical tools and exercises that help people manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, and anger, and improve sleep and daily functioning. Another element emphasizes reflective, exploratory work that helps clients understand patterns in relationships, identity, and mood, which can be especially helpful for grief, self-esteem issues, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Susan collaborates with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model on everyone.

Online therapy with Susan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the format that best supports each person’s needs.
