About Susannah

Susannah "Susy" Rudkin offers help for people worn down by overthinking, anxiety and repeating thought patterns. She works with stress, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, grief, trauma and many life changes. Susy aims to help people calm their minds and build steady confidence through practical, present-focused work.

Susy describes herself as a Mindset and Empowerment Coach and is an Integrative Counsellor registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She also holds coaching credentials including iPEC Energy Leadership Coach and Neurolinguistic Practitioner qualifications, which she uses alongside counselling skills.

In sessions she helps people identify unconscious beliefs and emotional triggers. The focus is on noticing thought patterns, testing them, and trying small changes that shift daily habits. She uses clear techniques rather than long analysis so people can see practical progress.

Her style is calm and present-focused. Susy guides short experiments and homework that fit into everyday life. She aims for clients to leave sessions with tools they can use that week.

People are invited to a relaxed Clarity Call to talk about what feels difficult and whether coaching or counselling is a better match. The process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling to suit both parties.

How approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small, practical steps and is useful for anxiety, overthinking and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviour. It can help with intimacy concerns, trust issues and patterns that repeat in close relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets specific thought habits and everyday routines that keep problems going. It often uses simple exercises to test thoughts and change small behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep or eating patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will collaborate to find what fits best. That conversation usually shapes whether sessions lean more toward coaching-style experiments, attachment-focused reflection or thought-focused CBT tasks.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know how meetings take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy weeks, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try practical exercises between sessions and bring those experiences back to the next meeting for review.
