Susanne Guy , BACP

Susanne Guy welcomes people who are ready to take the often-difficult first step of talking about their lives. She describes therapy as a process that can illuminate past patterns affecting the present and help people develop practical coping skills for day-to-day life.

She offers a warm, nonjudgmental environment where clients can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings and be truly heard. Susanne aims to build an authentic, empathic relationship founded on trust and respect, believing that a strong therapeutic connection supports meaningful change.

As an experienced integrative counsellor, she draws on a range of theoretical approaches to suit each person’s needs. Her work focuses on helping clients understand themselves more clearly and to support healing that, over time, empowers them to shape a different future.

Susanne holds a client-centered view that people are experts in their own lives. Rather than giving direct advice, she works alongside clients, offering a supportive space to explore patterns, develop self-awareness, and work through difficulties. Her goal is to help people move toward a fuller sense of who they are and to foster the conditions for healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the work. It emphasizes active listening and respect for each person’s perspective and can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and patterns influence current feelings and behaviors. By gently examining underlying dynamics and emotional patterns, this approach can support deeper self-understanding and long-term emotional shifts.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility in life. It helps people facing transitions, uncertainty, or questions about purpose to clarify values and make choices that align with what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susanne will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as the work unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can fit around work, caregiving, or travel constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend regularly, and access licensed professionals and therapists from wherever you are.
