Susan (Susy) Putnam, BACP

Susan (Susy) Putnam brings seven years of experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds through difficult life moments and transitions. She offers a calm, reflective space where clients can explore their concerns with kindness and self-compassion, and she works collaboratively to tailor the pace and approach to each person’s comfort.

Susan works from an integrative perspective, drawing on multiple therapeutic approaches such as attachment-based, client-centered, existential, mindfulness, and psychodynamic methods to address the specific issues a client presents. She frequently uses guided visualisation in partnership with clients as one way to help uncover new perspectives and pathways forward, while keeping the client at the centre of the work.

She has substantial experience supporting neurodiverse clients, including those with ADHD and high-functioning autism, and she also works with LGBTQI clients and their family members. Her practice encompasses a broad range of concerns, from stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties to trauma, grief, parenting challenges, career-related issues, and questions of life purpose.

With a background in education and several years teaching in prison settings, Susan has worked in multiple countries and enjoys bringing creativity into therapy. She is listed with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and welcomes clients from the United Kingdom and beyond. Taking the first step can be challenging, and Susan recognises the courage involved in seeking help; she looks forward to working with those ready to begin the process. www.susyputnamcounselling.co.uk
