Susan Kinsella-Brice , BACP

Susan Kinsella-Brice is a UK-licensed counselling psychotherapist with 14 years of professional experience who supports adults facing a range of emotional and life challenges. She is a member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and draws on that training to work sensitively with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and identity, relationship and family concerns, addictions, and difficulties with sleep and motivation. Susan also works with clients navigating life changes, parenting pressures, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and neurodiverse-related concerns such as ADHD.

Her approach is grounded in the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that strengths already present can be mobilised to help overcome obstacles. She combines client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques to create a therapeutic space where practical coping skills and emotional processing go hand in hand.

Recognising that taking the first step can require courage, Susan aims to make the initial contact straightforward and supportive. She partners with clients to clarify goals, explore options, and build sustainable strategies for managing symptoms and improving wellbeing over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Susan integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and respect, helping clients explore their values and strengths while making sense of difficult experiences; it is helpful for issues such as self-esteem, identity, and navigating life changes. CBT offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop alternative strategies, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, and she adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective. Clients are involved in choosing techniques and setting the pace of therapy.

Online therapy with Susan is provided by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health needs, and they make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without travelling to appointments.
