About Susana
Susana Alarcon Jimenez works from a client-centred approach that aims to make people feel heard and respected. She uses clear, direct conversation to help with everyday stresses, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. Susana writes simply and listens closely so people can find the next steps that feel right for them.
She combines Client-Centred Therapy with practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, learn small coping steps, and focus on values that matter. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Susana has six years' experience as an ACA counsellor working in Australia. Her background includes supporting people through relationship strain, parenting challenges and family conflict. She also helps with issues tied to separation, blended family dynamics and grief.
Additional areas she addresses include body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, immigration issues and first responder concerns. Susana takes an inclusive approach and pays attention to cultural factors that shape each person’s story.
People can expect straightforward talk, practical strategies and a focus on what matters most to them. She supports goal setting and gentle progress checks so changes feel manageable. Susana offers sessions in English and Spanish and aims to make counselling welcoming and down to earth.
How Susana’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding so the person feels respected and able to shape their own goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and learn to act in line with what matters, which can reduce stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susana will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer clear, skills-based exercises or reflective conversations from home or during a break at work. The therapist will explain practical arrangements once contact is made and help choose a format that fits the person's routine and comfort.
