Susan Zammit, BACP

Susan Zammit focuses on common but painful problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief and eating concerns. She also helps people coping with life changes, relationship strain, parenting stress, anger and self-esteem challenges. Susan lists support for LGBT issues and ADHD among her specialities. She works with people facing trauma, abuse and bereavement and with those navigating complex situations such as cancer or end-of-life care.

Susan uses a person-centred style in sessions. That means conversations centre on the person and what matters most to them. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours to make practical changes. Attachment-based ideas inform her work when relationship patterns and early bonds matter.

Susan has worked in a range of settings including prisons, education and the National Bereavement Partnership, bringing a mix of practical experience to clinical work. She has 11 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

In meetings she aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. She encourages small, achievable steps and supports people while they try new ways of coping.

People choosing to work with Susan start by sharing what matters to them. She will then agree a way forward that fits the person’s situation and preferences.

How Susan’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Susan uses person-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment ideas to guide online sessions. Person-centred work focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation so clients feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers clear, practical steps to change them. Attachment-based work examines how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses, helping people rewrite unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Susan will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That plan can change as work progresses and new needs appear; the therapist and client check in together about what is helping and what to try next.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations and to arrange shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the available session types before booking to ensure they fit personal needs and circumstances.
