About Susan
Susan McGrattan is a counsellor with eight years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers personalised, integrated support for adults and young people facing a wide range of concerns. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and understood while they learn practical ways to manage difficult feelings.
She helps with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Relationship and intimacy-related difficulties are also part of her work, alongside issues such as low self-esteem, addictions and ADHD. She also supports people coping with life changes like caring responsibilities, illness, or career shifts.
Susan combines several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients focus on values and meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work inform how she looks at close relationships and emotional responses.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the individual. Susan aims to teach coping tools while also looking at the deeper reasons behind repeating patterns. She encourages small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life.
If you are thinking about starting counselling she asks people to be curious about what they want to change. The initial match process includes a short questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled according to availability. This helps people get started with a clear first step.
How therapy methods guide online counselling
Susan works with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can ease anxiety and increase motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and emotional reactions, helping people change how they connect with others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susan will talk with clients about goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That collaboration can shape session pacing, homework tasks, and the balance between skills teaching and emotional processing.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different rhythms of work, such as focusing on skill practice between sessions or using video to work on relationship interactions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches effectively to remote settings, and Susan will help tailor the plan to each person’s circumstances.
