About Susanna

Susanna Newsome is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with 17 years of professional experience. She offers sessions in English and Italian and works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career uncertainty, and life changes. She notes sensitivity to adult dyslexia and can support those coping with compassion fatigue and related stress.

Susanna uses Client-Centred Therapy and focuses on practical conversation. She helps people talk through relationship and workplace problems, and the feelings that follow big life changes. Sessions tend to be straightforward and grounded, with time spent listening and reflecting together on next steps.

Her background includes long-term practice working with adults on matters such as body image, caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, control issues, and isolation. She also supports people dealing with immigration concerns, hoarding behaviours, and impulsivity. Life purpose and self-love are part of the topics she addresses when they come up.

In session, Susanna works to reduce confusion and overwhelm by helping people organise their thoughts. She pays attention to practical obstacles, such as reading differences linked to dyslexia, and adapts conversation to make sessions easier to follow. She describes the first step as a short, supportive conversation to clarify concerns.

People who choose to work with her can expect a calm, direct approach aimed at making sense of where they are now and what options might be possible next. She invites prospective clients to start by completing a brief questionnaire and booking an initial appointment.

How Client-Centred Therapy translates to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's perspective at the centre of the work. It involves careful listening, reflecting back what the client says, and allowing people to find their own insights. This approach is suited to relationship difficulties, career questions, and processing the emotional impact of life changes.

Susanna emphasises straightforward conversation and practical adjustments, for example noticing when dyslexia affects reading or processing and adapting the session accordingly. The therapist and client decide together whether the way of working feels right, and they review the approach as needs evolve to find the best match for goals and preferences.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as specific online options are not detailed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, and making it possible to meet from a quieter location. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful continuity of care through remote sessions while maintaining the same conversational style used in face-to-face work.
