About Susan

Susan Kinsella-Brice is a counsellor with 14 years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, stress, depression, grief and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, and struggles around self-esteem and identity.

Susan uses a calm, straightforward style that helps people talk about what matters most. She listens without judgement and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Background and approach

Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas to make sessions practical and emotionally aware. In sessions she focuses on clarifying what is painful or stuck, and on small, achievable steps forward. Conversations can include exploring strong emotions, noticing patterns in relationships, and trying out new ways of coping.

Mindfulness and existential ideas are sometimes used to help people find meaning and steadiness during change. Susan has experience across a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic pain and illness, and issues linked to attachment and abandonment. She also pays attention to problems such as sleep disruption, anger, eating-related worries and compassion fatigue.

People who value a warm, respectful approach tend to find her helpful. She works with a mix of talking and practical exercises, tailored to each person's needs and circumstances.

Online support

How online therapy and emotion-focused work come together

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on the patterns of feelings and attachment that shape relationships and self-view. It helps people identify key emotions, understand what those feelings mean, and try different ways of responding when old patterns cause distress.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental way of working. The counsellor follows the persons lead, offers empathetic listening and helps people access their own resources to make changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and practical behaviours. It offers tools to test and change thinking patterns and to develop new coping skills for anxiety, low mood and daily challenges.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Susan will work with each person to decide which ideas and exercises fit their goals and lifestyle. That means trying things out and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer a way to check in between sessions or to work when typing feels more manageable. These options make therapy more accessible and help people fit sessions around work, caregiving and travel.
