About Susan
Susan (Susy) Putnam offers help for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and life transitions. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, caring responsibilities and work-related burnout. Susy uses a calm, reflective tone and aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and understandable.
Susy brings seven years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She welcomes people from a wide range of backgrounds, including LGBT individuals and those with neurodiverse profiles such as ADHD and high-functioning autism.
Background and approach
Her approach keeps the person at the centre of each session. Her style is integrative and conversational. Sessions usually involve listening closely, helping you name what matters, and trying out gentle techniques such as guided visualisation when useful.
She balances reflective conversation with practical ways to cope day to day. Susan has worked in education and in prison settings, and has lived and worked in several countries. That background feeds into a flexible, creative way of working that suits people who prefer variety rather than a single method.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Susy aims to work at a pace that feels manageable and to help people find clearer footing when life feels overwhelming. To begin, clients follow a straightforward sign-up process and schedule sessions once their matching questionnaire is complete.
Susy appreciates the courage it takes to start and aims to make the process steady and supportive.

Online support
Approaches that shape online sessions
Existential therapy looks at what matters to you and the choices you face. It helps when life feels empty, confusing or full of pressure by encouraging honest reflection about meaning and values.Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help with feelings of abandonment, attachment issues, intimacy concerns and struggles in close relationships by tracing patterns and trying different ways of relating.
Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the conversation. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows your pace, helping you find your own solutions rather than prescribing actions.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. That exploration is part of the work rather than a separate step.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins when time is tight, and chat or text-based messaging supports shorter reflections or ongoing contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel while still maintaining steady contact with a registered or accredited professional.
