About Susan
Susan Blanchard is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She draws on three years of practice to help people who are feeling anxious, stressed, low in mood or struggling with self-esteem and relationship worries. She has experience supporting people affected by cancer within NHS services.
That work has informed her approach to illness, caregiver strain and the emotional impact of serious health issues. She also has training and practical experience with neurodiversity including autism and Asperger syndrome.
Background and approach
Susan's foundation is person-centred counselling, which means sessions focus on the person's own experience and priorities. She aims to offer warmth, empathy and acceptance so people can talk honestly about what is hard for them. Conversations are guided by the person's needs rather than a fixed agenda.
In sessions she will help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and explore how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships. Practical steps and everyday strategies are used alongside reflective conversations to ease distress and build confidence. Common concerns she supports include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, stress and self-esteem issues.
She also works with related difficulties such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Susan offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging so people can choose what suits them. She uses a subscription model for sessions, and people begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Online support
Work informed by experience supporting people in NHS cancer services focuses on emotional support around illness and caregiving. These conversations look at how health issues affect identity, roles and day-to-day coping, with practical ideas to manage stress and emotional strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and personal preferences and then agree which way of working is most helpful. This is a collaborative decision that can change as the person progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text messaging can fit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and caregiving commitments, while keeping a steady course of support.
