About Susan
Susan McGrattan is a counsellor who brings eight years' experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on everyday pressures like stress, anxiety, low mood and career strain. She also supports people facing trauma, bereavement, addiction and concerns about identity and intimacy.
Susan holds NCPS as a listed credential. Susan describes therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on understanding what's happening now and on practical ways to manage feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
She listens to where someone is at and helps them build steps to feel steadier day to day. In her work she draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns that shape relationships and self‑worth. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
Her approach is client-centred and attachment-informed, so she pays attention to how early bonds affect current reactions. That can help when people struggle with abandonment, codependency or attachment issues. Sessions are offered online in a range of formats so therapy can fit into busy lives.
Susan accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect someone to the right schedule and format.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions shape relationships and self-view. It helps people notice patterns of emotional response and develop new ways of connecting and expressing needs.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts influence mood and behaviour. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build different reactions to everyday challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person's situation. That collaboration helps shape sessions as needs and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text-based messaging lets someone share between sessions. These options help people keep continuity of care even when travel, work or other commitments make in-person meetings hard.
