About Susan
Susan John draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside person-centred ways of working to help people feel steadier and more connected to their feelings. She uses straightforward, practical language and gentle curiosity to help people name what is happening for them. Susan is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
She pays attention to both thoughts and bodily sensations, guiding people to notice where emotions live in the body. That can make overwhelming feelings easier to talk about and to manage.
Background and approach
Susan offers short-term coping tools as well as deeper conversations when people want them. Her work covers stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, changes such as separation or divorce, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues linked to trauma and abuse.
Eating, sleeping and career worries are included, along with concerns such as body image and caregiver stress. Susan also works with people exploring identity, LGBT matters, ADHD, and problems like abandonment, attachment or codependency. She describes her approach as open, honest and non-judgemental, and aims to help people build insight and clearer ways to cope.
With four years of experience she blends different approaches - including hypnotherapy and mindfulness - to match what each person needs. The therapist invites clients to take an active role in shaping sessions and to use their own strengths during the process.

Online support
Emotion-focused care through online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong emotional experiences. It concentrates on what people feel in the moment and on patterns that show up in relationships or daily life, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and intimacy-related worries.Client-Centred Therapy offers a warm, accepting space where the persons own priorities lead the work. The counsellor listens closely and helps people make sense of their experience, which supports self-understanding and personal choice.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose what suits each person. Sessions begin with a discussion about needs and goals, and the approach can be adjusted as those needs change over time.
Online therapy can make attending sessions easier. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions fit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or need flexible scheduling. These options allow people to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and to use the format that helps them engage most effectively.
