Susanna Newsome, BACP, NCPS

Susanna Newsome offers calm, straightforward support for people facing relationship strain, trauma, career uncertainty and big life changes. She speaks English and Italian and has 17 years of professional experience. Susanna aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.

She creates a welcoming space where clients can speak openly about difficult feelings. Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and paced to the person in front of her. She is trauma informed and sensitive to dyslexia in adulthood, which shapes how she listens and responds.

Susanna draws on client-centred therapy, which means the work follows the client’s priorities. She encourages people to explore what matters most to them and to build on their own strengths. Practical problems such as workplace stress, communication issues and caregiver strain are addressed alongside deeper emotional material.

Her additional focus areas include body image, control issues, impulsivity, isolation and life purpose. Susanna also supports people dealing with immigration-related stress, hoarding, and difficulties common to young adults. She aims to help clients find clearer direction and more manageable day-to-day coping.

Sessions begin with listening and establishing what the client hopes to change. From there she tailors the pace and topics to each person. The emphasis is on mutual respect, steady progress and practical steps that fit real life.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening to the person and following their priorities. The therapist offers a non-judgemental space where the client sets the pace and topics. This approach can suit issues such as relationship struggles, career decisions and coping with life changes because it centres on what the client wants to work on.

Being trauma informed and attentive to dyslexia in adulthood shapes how sessions are run. That means adapting language, giving space for processing and checking understanding rather than pushing a fixed agenda. The therapist will discuss together what feels most helpful and adjust the way of working as the relationship develops.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help clients compare options and decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. Over a few meetings the plan can be adjusted so sessions remain useful and relevant.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or longer check-ins when needed. It also allows people in different countries to access a therapist who speaks English and Italian, while practical arrangements are agreed at booking.
