About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 17 years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Her list of concerns also includes trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting pressures, bipolar and depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Susy focuses on the emotional patterns that keep people stuck. She helps clients notice repetitive thoughts and unhelpful beliefs. Sessions aim to reduce reactivity and build steadier ways of responding to stress.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centred practice and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. That mix is used to help name feelings, link them to behaviour, and try small experiments to shift them. Sessions tend to be practical and present-focused rather than long academic analysis.
Susy also brings coaching tools she learned through Energy Leadership and Neurolinguistic approaches. Those are offered alongside counselling to support clearer thinking and practical steps forward. She describes her work as focused on breaking self-sabotaging cycles and rebuilding trust in yourself.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in the United Kingdom. The way to begin is to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the online process provided. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name the emotions that drive relationship and personal patterns. It often focuses on recognising attachment needs and changing reactivity so feelings feel clearer and less overwhelming.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions that align with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current responses and seeks to build more secure ways of relating to others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match those goals. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as sessions progress.
