About Susan

Susan McGrattan is a licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience and the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that reflects her training. She works with adults, children, teenagers, and students, offering personalized, integrated counselling designed to meet each person where they are and address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, bereavement and loss, relationship challenges, self-harm, low self-esteem, and trauma.

Susan approaches anxiety as a signal that there may be deeper issues worth exploring, and she guides clients through the process of uncovering those roots. Her practice emphasizes practical emotional coping tools that support resilience and help clients move toward a more fulfilling life. She adapts interventions to the individual, drawing on an integrative framework to fit each client’s circumstances and goals.

Susan believes clients are the experts on their own life stories and views therapy as a collaborative journey. She provides a calm, understanding, and non-judgmental space where people can safely navigate difficult emotions and life transitions. She recognizes that beginning therapy can feel overwhelming and validates that first step as a brave, meaningful choice that can contribute to meaningful change over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small, guided actions toward a more meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connecting with others; it supports people working through relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, and attachment issues by exploring relational roots and building more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-oriented approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Susan McGrattan takes a collaborative stance, working with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That process is shared and adaptive, with the therapist and client deciding together which methods to try and adjusting as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or distance. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals in ways that suit their schedules and communication preferences. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each individual.
