Susan Chown , BACP

Susan Chown is a UK-licensed therapist with more than a decade of professional experience supporting people through difficult life challenges. She works with individuals facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and intimacy-related concerns, offering a compassionate, steady presence as clients explore change. Susan believes that people already hold strengths that can help them move through what feels overwhelming, and she focuses on building those strengths into practical steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Her practice is grounded in respect for each person s pace and goals, and she works to create a space where clients can explore painful emotions and difficult decisions without judgment. As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she follows recognised professional standards in her work. Susan aims to support clients in recognising their resilience and in finding clearer ways of relating to themselves and others, whether they are dealing with loss, trauma, relationship strain, or questions about intimacy.

Client-Centered Support and Online Therapy Options

Client-Centered Therapy is central to Susan Chown s practice. This approach focuses on listening closely to each person s experience, offering empathic understanding and space for clients to lead the conversation. It can be particularly helpful for people working through relationship problems, grief, and challenges stemming from trauma, as it supports self-discovery and personal agency.

Complementing this, Susan emphasises a strengths-based way of working that helps clients identify and build on their existing abilities and resources. That practical focus aims to make change feel achievable and supports people facing intimacy issues, anxiety, or life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Susan works together with clients to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting her style as progress unfolds. Online therapy makes this collaboration more accessible - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging depending on what feels most comfortable. These options offer flexibility for scheduling and for fitting therapy into busy or complex lives while enabling ongoing work with a licensed professional.
