Susannah "Susy" Rudkin , BACP

Susannah "Susy" Rudkin supports people who feel trapped by overthinking, self-doubt, and repeating patterns, guiding them toward greater calm, confidence, and clarity from the inside out. She works with clients who seem fine outwardly but experience mental busyness, emotional exhaustion, or persistent loops of worry - framing overthinking as a learned stress response that can be changed with practical skills and focused inner work.

Susy combines coaching and counselling to help clients identify and release unconscious beliefs, emotional triggers, and thought habits that undermine confidence and forward momentum. Her approach prioritises present-focused, practical strategies designed to create tangible internal shifts rather than endless analysis. She helps clients calm reactivity, break self-sabotaging cycles, and rebuild trust in themselves so they can move forward with clearer intention.

Her training includes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), iPEC training as an Energy Leadership Certified Professional Coach (CPC), qualification as an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP), and certification as a Neurolinguistic Practitioner (AB-NLP). These combined perspectives inform a calm, pragmatic style that is well suited to people seeking tools as well as insight.

Susy works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, life transitions, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career challenges, mood conditions including bipolar and depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She offers a no-pressure Clarity Call to explore what feels difficult and whether mindset and empowerment coaching is the right next step.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Susannah "Susy" Rudkin integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help clients change unhelpful patterns and build resilience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it is useful for anxiety, rumination, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and intimacy - it can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and rebuilding trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often helping with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susy works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She brings a coaching and counselling lens to tailor interventions and adjusts direction as work progresses to ensure the plan stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Susy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without commuting, allowing clients to build skills and practice change from their own environment while working with a licensed professional or therapist.
