About Susan
Susan (Susy) Putnam is a counsellor with seven years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief, trauma and issues around self‑esteem and identity. Susy also works with concerns such as ADHD, intimacy challenges, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is calm and person-centred. Sessions focus on what the client brings and move at a pace that feels right.
Background and approach
Susy uses listening, gentle reflection and guided visualisation to help people find clearer ways forward. She draws on attachment-based ideas to explore relationship patterns and long-term emotional needs. Psychodynamic perspectives help make sense of recurring feelings and behaviours.
Mindfulness techniques are offered for managing stress and staying grounded in daily life. Susy has a background in education and several years' experience teaching in prisons, including international work. This experience informs her practical, down-to-earth style and her comfort supporting people from diverse backgrounds.
Clients meet her in online formats. She welcomes LGBT people and those with neurodivergent profiles such as ADHD and high-functioning autism. The emphasis is on working collaboratively to find approaches that suit each person's needs.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susy will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and comfort. That might mean blending attachment ideas with mindfulness practices or using psychodynamic thinking to make sense of repeating patterns.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expression and build rapport, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit ongoing support between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and help people access registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
