About Susan

Susan Clayton is a UK-based counsellor and psychotherapist with five years of professional experience, including focused work as a bereavement counsellor supporting people through loss and grief. She has worked with a wide range of presenting issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and low self-esteem, and brings a calm, practical approach to helping clients navigate difficult life moments.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and believes therapy should be shaped around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Her work is client-focused and she develops tailored counselling and treatment plans to address the specific needs and goals each person brings.

Susan holds BACP accreditation, which reflects membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a commitment to professional standards. She encourages anyone considering therapy to view the first step as a meaningful move toward becoming the person they would like to be, and she aims to provide steady support through that process.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small, practical steps that align with what matters most, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up in adult connections. It supports people working through abandonment, attachment issues, relationship challenges, and family dynamics by exploring emotional needs and improving interpersonal security.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develops practical skills to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan Clayton works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles and needs. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without long commutes, allowing people to integrate therapy into busy or changing lives.
