About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who feel stuck by addressing overthinking, low confidence and recurring emotional patterns. She offers calm, practical sessions that focus on clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Susy uses coaching and counselling approaches to support people who want change rather than quick fixes.
Susy describes a lot of distress as learned responses that can be shifted. She listens for the beliefs and triggers that keep someone caught in cycles.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to reduce reactivity, improve self-trust and build simple habits that make daily life easier. Her background includes an iPEC Energy Leadership Coach qualification and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also holds training in Energy Leadership Index work, neurolinguistic practice and integrative counselling.
Susy blends these influences with psychotherapy approaches such as Existential work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to suit each person. In practice she keeps things present-focused and practical. Expect conversational sessions where you name what matters, try small experiments and practise new ways of responding.
The emphasis is on tools you can use between sessions to notice change. People come to Susy for a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, grief, trauma, parenting strain and career decisions. She also supports those managing neurodiverse traits, attachment difficulties and complex emotional patterns.
Her style is steady, collaborative and goal oriented.

Online support
How Susy mixes approaches for online work
Existential work helps people face big life questions and find personal meaning. It looks at how values, choice and responsibility affect everyday feelings and decisions, which can help when life changes or identity questions cause distress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches simple skills for noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and ongoing stress because it emphasises action over removing every difficult thought.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships. It helps people spot how earlier bonds influence current trust, communication and intimacy issues, which can be helpful for relationship strain and attachment difficulties.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then decide together which methods to try. This collaborative stance lets the client shape the pace and focus of sessions.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging provide short check-ins, written reflections and ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and adapt sessions to life demands.
