About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, addiction and a wide range of relationship and life-change concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, sleep or eating issues, parenting stress, career uncertainty, bipolar disorder and depression. Susy uses a practical, calm approach aimed at reducing overwhelm and building inner clarity and confidence.
Susy works in a way that focuses on emotions and attachment, while also drawing on cognitive and acceptance-based tools.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at helping people notice unhelpful patterns, calm emotional reactivity, and try new ways of coping. The work is present-focused and meant to produce useful shifts rather than endless analysis. She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates recognition by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Susy brings 17 years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom and combines counselling with coaching elements for mindset and empowerment work. People can expect straightforward conversations, practical exercises, and gentle reflection. Susy describes her style as calm and practical, offering tools to manage overthinking and self-doubt while exploring the beliefs that keep someone stuck.
Sessions may involve learning new coping skills, rehearsing different responses to triggers, and building clarity about next steps in life. Practical goals such as improving communication, managing emotions, or navigating separation and change are commonly addressed.

Online support
How emotional and acceptance-focused work translates online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name core emotions and the patterns that follow. It is useful for understanding why certain situations trigger strong feelings and for learning new ways to respond to those feelings.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts without getting caught by them, and clarifying what matters most to you. It offers practical exercises to build psychological flexibility and help with stress, anxiety and difficult life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and emotional responses. It can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repeated relationship difficulties to recognise and shift those patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the focus as the work progresses.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. Video calls let you work face to face when needed, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for a short check-in, and chat or messaging can suit quick reflections or people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep continuity of care when life gets busy.
