Susan John, BACP, NCPS

Susan John is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, career stress and compassion fatigue.

Susan describes her work as focusing on both thoughts and bodily sensations. She uses an integrative approach to draw on methods that match a person's needs at the time. Sessions often centre on noticing where emotions show up in the body and talking through what those sensations mean for daily life.

Her process is collaborative and straightforward. She encourages clients to recognise personal strengths and to use them when working through difficult feelings. Practical coping strategies are offered for shorter-term work and immediate relief when needed.

Susan has experience with issues linked to identity, including LGBT concerns, and with attachment-related themes such as abandonment and communication problems. She also lists areas like ADHD, codependency, body image and carer stress among her focus areas.

People who prefer a blend of talking therapies and techniques that include mindfulness or hypnotherapy will find the approach familiar. She aims to help clients gain clearer self-awareness and greater control over reactions, including patterns of anger or frustration.
