Susan Chown, BACP

Susan Chown is a counsellor with a decade of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and intimacy-related concerns. She speaks English and works with clients who want to find clearer ways forward in their lives.

Susan follows a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience first. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them. Her style is straightforward and supportive, emphasising the client’s own strengths as tools for change.

Over ten years she has supported people with anxiety, depression and bipolar issues, as well as those coping with stress, addictions and parenting pressures. She also helps with concerns such as body image, ADHD, and chronic pain, illness and disability. These areas often link with relationship, career and life-change problems.

Susan works with a range of emotional and practical difficulties including anger, communication problems, and bereavement. She also addresses issues around commitment, codependency and boundaries. Her work is aimed at helping people rebuild stability and daily coping skills.

Clients are invited to use their own strengths while exploring new ways of relating and managing symptoms. The process is collaborative - Susan listens, reflects back what she hears, and supports people to try different approaches until something feels helpful.

How client-centred therapy works online

Susan practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means the conversation centres on the person's experience. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps the client name priorities and next steps. This approach is often helpful for relationship worries, grief and anxiety where feeling heard matters.

Client-Centred Therapy supports people to use their own strengths to manage life changes. The therapist offers empathy and gentle challenge, helping people try new ways of coping and relating. This is a collaborative process where the client and therapist decide together what to focus on.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will help clients identify what fits best based on their goals and preferences. She will discuss how sessions might look and adapt the pace and focus as needed.
