About Shushanik
Shushanik Gasparyan offers a warm, client-centred way of working that places the person at the heart of therapy. She aims to make difficult feelings easier to talk about and helps people take small steps toward feeling steadier. Shushanik writes in plain terms and meets people where they are.
She has eight years of experience working in agency settings as a psychologist and on projects with international organisations. That background has included work related to child abuse prevention with groups such as Save The Children and UNICEF. She draws on that experience when supporting people through trauma, grief and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.
Her practice covers a wide range of everyday struggles. These include stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, addiction and difficulties with sleep and eating. She also works with relationship and family concerns, anger, career stress, parenting challenges, and issues linked to ADHD, codependency and avoidant personality patterns.
Shushanik blends Client-Centred Therapy with narrative and psychodynamic ideas. In sessions she listens for the stories people tell about themselves and for patterns that keep them stuck. She helps people name feelings, try different perspectives and make practical changes that fit their lives.
Sessions are offered in English and Armenian, and she is able to work with people internationally. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How client-centred and narrative ideas work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the person's own goals. It helps people feel heard and make changes at their own pace, which can suit worries like low self-esteem, anxiety and life transitions.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. It can help shift unhelpful stories about identity, isolation, shame or codependency by separating the problem from the person and trying new perspectives.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you choose what feels most useful based on your situation, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as needs change.
