About Susannah

Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who are stuck with worry, low confidence and repeating patterns. She supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and low self-esteem. Susy also works with people facing trauma, grief, addiction and challenges with sleep or eating. Her approach aims to reduce overthinking and build steady confidence.

Susy describes her work as practical and present-focused. She uses conversational sessions to spot the small beliefs and triggers that keep people stuck. Sessions include straightforward tools for calming emotional reactivity and breaking self-sabotaging cycles. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier behaviour rather than long analysis.

She brings 17 years of experience to her practice and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Susy also draws on coaching methods that focus on mindset and leadership, and she mentions neurolinguistic approaches alongside her counselling work. These influences feed into short exercises and reflective tasks used in sessions.

People who come to Susy often want concrete steps and steady progress. She frames change as a collaborative process and encourages practical practice between meetings. If someone wants faster relief from overwhelming thoughts, she helps them build day-to-day routines to reduce reactivity.

Those unsure whether this style fits can begin with a short clarity conversation to see if the approach feels right. Susy invites straightforward questions about goals, pace and what honest change would look like.

How Susy’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It helps with anxiety, low mood and overthinking by building flexible habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It suits stress, panic and problems that repeat. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and closeness, which can help with intimacy, abandonment fears and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susy discusses goals and preferences and then picks methods together with the person in session. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs become clearer.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, working remotely can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and travel. It can reduce time spent commuting and allow shorter check-ins when a full-length session is not needed. For some people, online sessions make it simpler to practise tools between meetings and to bring daily life examples into conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide whether remote sessions or another arrangement will best meet practical needs and therapy goals.
