About Susan
Susan Clayton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship problems. She also supports clients dealing with addiction, trauma and low self-esteem. Susan works in plain language and aims to make the first steps easier to take.
Susan uses a mix of practical talking therapy and reflective work. She offers straightforward discussions about feelings and behaviour. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs at that time.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Jungian ideas about personal meaning and inner patterns, alongside tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. This combination lets people look at thoughts and actions, while also noticing deeper themes that affect choices and relationships. Susan holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She has practised for five years and has worked specifically with bereavement and grief as well as other common concerns. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged for people inside and outside the UK. Susan offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so that therapy can fit around work, family and daily life.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Susan commonly uses Jungian Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. Jungian Therapy invites people to notice recurring life themes, dreams and images to find meaning and new ways of relating to problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offers practical steps to accept difficult feelings and commit to actions that match personal values.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and try different methods to see what fits best. Decisions about methods are made together and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let you keep visual connection, phone sessions can use less data, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily routines, and to keep continuity when circumstances shift.
