Susannah "Susy" Rudkin, BACP

Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction and difficulties with self-esteem. She supports those coping with life changes, trauma, sleep or eating issues, parenting pressures, workplace strain and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. Susy also works with people facing ADHD, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related struggles. She is identified as a BACP counsellor and has 17 years' experience. Susy describes her approach as practical and present-focused. Sessions aim to expose the hidden beliefs and emotional triggers that keep someone replaying the same patterns. She blends talking-based counselling with coaching methods to help people calm emotional reactivity and rebuild confidence. The work emphasises learning simple, repeatable skills rather than lengthy analysis. In the room she helps people spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer choices. That includes building coping tools for anger, communication problems and managing intense emotions. She also supports those navigating separation, divorce, bereavement or the fallout of traumatic experiences. Her background combines counselling with energy leadership and neurolinguistic practice, which she uses to open up new ways of seeing problems. Susy frames change as something a person does step by step, with responsibility and practical action. She invites people who are ready to work on themselves to explore that process. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. They then schedule according to the therapist's availability and the subscription arrangements in place.

How her approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small steps towards them while learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and works to change how someone relates to others and to themselves, which can help with intimacy and trust issues. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's experience and aims to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where someone can talk through problems and find their own solutions. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods fit best for the person's goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative conversation may mean using one approach mainly or combining elements from different ones to suit what the person wants to change. Please confirm the specific session formats Susy offers before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins and making it easier to schedule around work or family commitments. It also means people can choose settings that feel less distracting and pick a communication style that suits them, for example a session that does not require being on camera.
