Susan Hewitt, BACP

Susan Hewitt is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and motivation concerns. She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and life changes.

Susan keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She encourages clients to talk through what matters most to them and to try small, practical steps between meetings. People can expect a focus on how patterns from earlier relationships affect current problems and on practical tools for managing mood and worry.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, and narrative methods. That mix means sessions can include exploring past relationship patterns, testing out different ways of thinking and behaving, and paying attention to present-moment experience.

Susan aims to make sessions a place for clear discussion rather than jargon. She often helps people notice how their stories about themselves shape their choices, and then works with them to try different responses. This can be useful for parenting stress, intimacy-related worries, or coping after separation.

Practical matters are part of the work. Susan discusses what to try between sessions, and checks progress as therapy continues. People looking to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first appointment.
