About Susannah

Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, overthinking and life change. She works with those coping with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, trauma and difficulties with sleep or eating. Susy aims to help clients build calm, clearer thinking and steadier confidence over time.

Susy uses a mix of talking and practical exercises. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Sessions focus on present problems and on small steps that make daily life easier.

Her background includes 17 years working in related fields and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Susy also describes experience as a Mindset and Empowerment Coach and other coaching qualifications in her original biography. She brings that combined perspective to work on underlying beliefs and emotional triggers.

In a typical session Susy helps a person identify repeating patterns and test simple changes. She offers tools to reduce reactivity, rebuild self-trust and manage stress responses. The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

People often choose her when they want straightforward techniques and a calm, present-focused approach. If you are dealing with the effects of a natural or human-caused disaster, she lists coping with such events among her areas of focus, and can help with the emotional fallout and practical steps that follow.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and to choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to change mood and daily functioning. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy issues and rebuilding trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will choose methods that feel sensible for your situation. That means blending techniques and adjusting pace so the work fits your needs and feels practical.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, and it can reduce time spent getting to appointments. It also allows short check-ins when a full session is not needed, and offers a way to keep continuity of care if life circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods effectively when they suit the person's day-to-day life and goals.
