About Susan

Susan Mahachi is an eclectic professional counsellor with 16 years of clinical experience who works with children, teenagers, and adults. She holds the ACA credential, a professional counselling qualification that reflects her training and practice in Australia. Over the years she has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, procrastination, body image struggles, self-harm, relationship and marital difficulties, parenting challenges, stress, low motivation, and issues with self-worth and confidence.

Her practice has also included pre-marital counselling and work with clients navigating the complexities of family and interpersonal life. In sessions she prioritizes creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can express emotions and thoughts openly. Susan recognizes the courage it takes to seek change and approaches therapy with empathy and steady support. She aims to help clients identify practical steps forward while honoring their individual pace and values, guiding them through the process of building a more fulfilling and resilient life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while helping them clarify personal values and take meaningful action. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivational challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns influence present-day connections and emotional responses. It is particularly relevant for relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and issues rooted in early attachment experiences.

Susan works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the selection of methods as part of the therapeutic process, adapting strategies as the work evolves and inviting client feedback throughout.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can take place through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity when schedules change, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
