About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, trauma, addictions and life transitions. She works with issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, anger, parenting worries, career uncertainty, ADHD, bipolar and depression. Susy is a BACP counsellor with 17 years' experience and uses practical, present-focused methods to create change.
Susy keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth. She listens for the thoughts and patterns that repeat and then offers simple tools to shift them.
Background and approach
Conversations may include exercises from cognitive behavioural approaches, values-focused work from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and exploration of attachment patterns. Jungian ideas are used to look at recurring themes and inner symbolism where helpful. Sessions aim to reduce rumination and calm emotional reactivity.
Susy supports people to build confidence, break self-sabotaging cycles and find clearer direction. The work is practical rather than purely analytical, with skills you can apply between sessions. Her background combines long-term counselling practice with coaching skills focused on mindset and empowerment.
That mix means she can offer both reflective exploration and concrete strategies for everyday life. She explains tools plainly and tailors pace to each person. People who want to stop overthinking and take active steps feel at home with this approach.
Susy invites honest conversation and straightforward tasks that lead to lasting small changes. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at steady progress.

Approaches that translate well online
Jungian-influenced work looks at recurring themes, dreams and inner symbols to understand why certain patterns repeat. It can help people name hidden loyalties or storylines that influence choices and relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and building small committed actions. It offers practical ways to live in line with what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current responses. It helps people see and shift how they relate to others and to themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Over a few sessions they check what helps most and adapt the plan as needed, mixing reflective exploration with hands-on skills when that fits.
Online sessions can be joined by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and exercises, phone calls can be easier on low bandwidth, and text or chat suits quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options let people fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and support steady progress without long commutes.
