About Susanna
Susanna Newsome welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. She offers a calm space for someone to talk about relationship worries, past trauma, career crossroads or big life changes. Sessions are in English and Italian and she brings 17 years of professional experience to the work.
She uses a client-centred way of working, which means the person in the room leads the pace and topics. The focus is on listening carefully and reflecting back what matters to the client. This helps people notice what they want to change and build confidence to try new steps.
She is trauma informed and attentive to the needs of adults with dyslexia. In practical terms this can mean adapting how conversations flow and checking understanding during sessions. Susanna aims to make the process straightforward and respectful for each person.
People come for many reasons, including compassion fatigue, workplace strain, body image concerns, isolation, or struggles with control and impulsivity. She also supports those facing immigration-related stress, hoarding, caregiver strain, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Her approach is gently collaborative. She helps people name priorities, test small changes and reflect on progress. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make it easier to talk through what matters most.
How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work and this carries over into online sessions. It means the therapist listens deeply, reflects back what is said and follows the person's pace and priorities. This approach can help with issues such as relationship worries, trauma-related reactions, career decisions and coping with life transitions.Being trauma informed is part of the process too. That involves attending to how conversations are paced, checking understanding and adapting communication for adults with dyslexia. These practical adjustments aim to make online meetings easier to follow and less tiring for the person in session.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to decide what feels most helpful, adjust methods if something does not fit, and agree goals together. This shared planning helps make sure sessions focus on the person's real concerns and immediate needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking.
