Susan Zammit

Susan Zammit brings a focus on stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and eating concerns. She works with people managing trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem issues. Susan also supports those facing life changes, ADHD and matters linked to identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria. She is a BACP member practising in the United Kingdom and has eleven years of experience.

Susan keeps conversations straightforward and centred on each person’s needs. She adapts the dialogue and the plan to fit what someone is dealing with right now. Sessions draw on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps for change.

Her background includes work in prisons, education and with The National Bereavement Partnership. That experience informs how she talks about loss, grief and end-of-life concerns, and how she supports people through difficult transitions. She aims to be respectful and compassionate in every meeting.

In a typical session Susan listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals. She uses gentle exploration of past relationships when attachment issues are relevant. Where thinking patterns are causing distress she offers simple CBT tools to test and shift those patterns.

People who choose to work with her can expect collaborative planning and regular check-ins on progress. She encourages clear, manageable steps so changes feel possible rather than overwhelming.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Susan uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and understood first, with the counsellor following the person’s lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas when past relationships affect current difficulties. That involves talking about how early connections shape how someone relates now and gently practising different ways of relating through session conversation and homework tasks. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process and she will help decide what fits best with someone’s goals and preferences.

If you are thinking about online work, check the available session options before booking since the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit quieter conversations or practical skill-building exercises such as CBT worksheets. A therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they work well for daily life and personal routines.
