About Susannah "Susy" Rudkin
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin is an integrative counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She works with people who struggle with persistent anxiety, overthinking, stress that is hard to switch off, low confidence and a sense of being stuck in self-doubt.
Many people who seek her support recognise familiar patterns - the mind that spirals into "what if" scenarios, replaying conversations long after they have ended, difficulty winding down at night, anxiety under pressure, second-guessing decisions, carrying a quiet belief of not being good enough, or finding it hard to set boundaries and speak up. Her practice focuses on understanding how these patterns are maintained, including the role of stress responses, nervous system activation and underlying belief systems.
Her integrative and collaborative method blends psychological insight with practical techniques aimed at steadier emotional regulation, clearer thinking and greater self-trust. She aims to create a calm, structured and psychologically informed space where reflection and actionable tools come together to support meaningful change, particularly for people who are self-aware and ready to explore both understanding and new ways of responding.

Therapeutic approaches for remote support
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin draws on evidence-informed approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns and respond to life with greater clarity and steadiness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and helps people identify values-driven actions to move forward - it can be useful for anxiety, rumination and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment fears and issues around trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behaviour cycles to reduce distress and improve coping skills, particularly for anxiety, overthinking and low confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susannah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning practical steps toward change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - which can make scheduling easier and allow therapy to fit around work, family and other commitments. Working remotely can increase accessibility for those who prefer to meet from home or need adaptable session formats, while still allowing therapists and licensed professionals to engage in meaningful, goal-focused work.
