About Susan
Susan Ranger welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space where worries can be named and talked through. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people find ways to cope and move forward.
Susan has seven years of experience working in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. She focuses on concerns such as anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports people living with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
In sessions she listens closely and helps people identify small, manageable changes. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and on building useful strategies for daily life. She encourages realistic goals and practical steps that fit into a person’s routine.
Susan works to create an open environment where feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. She supports people who want clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better ways to handle conflict. Many find the regular check-ins help them stay on track between sessions.
To begin, she asks people to describe their immediate concerns and what they hope to change. From there she and the person set short-term goals and review progress regularly. This helps therapy stay focused and relevant to everyday life.
Approaches that help with everyday parenting stress
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach uses problem-solving and goal-setting to break big issues into small tasks. This helps when everyday demands feel overwhelming and people need simple routines and actions.A second approach emphasises emotional awareness and regulation. It teaches ways to notice strong emotions, reduce reactivity and manage anger or anxiety in the moment. That work is useful for managing conflicts and steadying mood during stressful family times.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will invite a collaborative discussion about which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try strategies and adjust them until they fit everyday life.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around school runs, work breaks and busy days. It also allows shorter check-ins when a quick plan or breathing practice is needed, and reduces travel time so sessions can be easier to keep in a packed schedule.
