Susanna Newsome

Susanna Newsome is a counsellor who helps people navigate relationship strain, trauma, career crossroads and major life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about openly. She works in English and Italian and brings 17 years of professional experience to sessions.

She is credentialed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Susanna is trauma informed and pays attention to the needs of adults with dyslexia. These factors shape how she structures sessions and communicates interventions.

Her practice focuses on practical conversation and reflection. She helps clients talk through relationship difficulties, process past abuse, weigh career decisions and adapt to change. She also addresses concerns such as compassion fatigue, body image, isolation and workplace stress.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. Susanna listens first, then helps people find ways to make changes that fit their life. She supports those working on self-love, control and communication skills, and helps with problems linked to immigration, hoarding and impulsivity.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Susanna works with international clients and frames therapy as a step-by-step process toward clearer choices and steadier day-to-day coping.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and mirrors back what they hear to help clients feel understood. This approach can help with relationship strain, trauma recovery, career decisions and building self-worth.

Susanna also takes a trauma-informed stance, which means she pays attention to safety, pacing and clear communication during sessions. That approach can make it easier to talk through difficult memories and to set a pace that feels manageable for each person.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences, and adapt the method as those aims become clearer. Together they decide how to shape sessions so they feel useful and realistic.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time, which can make it easier to keep a regular schedule. Some people also prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that fits their routine better.
