Susan Hewitt, BACP

Susan Hewitt is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She supports adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and anger. Susan works with people who are coping with life changes, parenting stresses, career worries and issues around intimacy and identity.

Susan keeps sessions straightforward. She listens and helps people talk through what is happening, then together they look at practical ways to respond. Conversations focus on patterns that keep problems going and on small, manageable steps to change day-to-day reactions and habits.

Her approach draws on several well-known methods, including attachment-based ideas about how relationships shape feelings, cognitive behaviour work to spot unhelpful thinking, and narrative ideas about the stories people tell themselves. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with focus and managing strong feelings when they arise.

Susan also pays attention to overlapping concerns such as grief, chronic health issues, body image, addiction and the impact of separation or trauma. She helps people untangle those linked issues so they can see clearer next steps. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than heavily medical or technical.

People interested in starting meet and pick goals together. Susan asks about what matters most, then agrees the next small steps. For anyone worried about anger or snapping at people they love, she offers steady practical work to reduce reactivity and build different ways of responding.
