Remote counselling and approaches
Susan offers online sessions that combine practical strategy work with body-based tools to support regulation of the nervous system. Practical strategies may include step-by-step planning, boundary setting, and tools to manage overwhelming thoughts. Body-based techniques are described as ways to help bring the body and mind into a calmer state during and between sessions.She aims to work collaboratively, helping clients identify small, realistic changes that fit their daily life and values. That collaborative fit may suit someone who wants both actionable skills and attention to how stress shows up in the body. Online appointments are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences.
Sessions are conducted in a warm and supportive manner, with attention to grief, loss, and life transition themes alongside stress and anxiety. Prospective clients can discuss which mix of practical and body-based work feels most helpful during initial contacts.
