Susanna Newsome , BACP, NCPS

Susanna Newsome is a bilingual therapist based in the United Kingdom with 17 years of professional experience. She holds credentials with BACP, a UK professional counselling association, and NCPS, a national counselling and psychotherapy credential, and is credentialed to work in both the UK and Italy. She offers therapy in English and Italian and brings a trauma-informed perspective while remaining attentive to the particular needs of adults with dyslexia.

Across her career she has supported people facing relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, career difficulties, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses compassion fatigue, body image concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, hoarding, immigration issues, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose and self-love, women’s issues, workplace difficulties, and young adult transitions. Working from a client-centered stance, she focuses on creating an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment and where the client’s own experience guides the work.

Susanna collaborates with each person to identify meaningful goals and to build practical ways of coping and growing. She frames the therapeutic process as a supportive partnership intended to help people take the sometimes difficult first steps toward greater wellbeing and more fulfilling relationships.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Informed Care Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience, offering a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s own values and goals shape the work. This approach supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, life transitions, career uncertainty, and issues around self-worth by prioritizing empathy and collaboration.

A trauma-informed approach recognizes how past harm can affect current thoughts, feelings, and relationships. It emphasizes safety, pacing, and sensitivity to triggers, and is useful for those recovering from abuse, complex stress, or compassion fatigue.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Susanna works collaboratively with each person to identify what will help most based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She supports clients in experimenting with different ways of working until a good fit emerges.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to schedule regular sessions and maintain continuity of care. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to adapt support to daily life, making therapy more accessible for people managing busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic limitations.
