Susannah Westcott

Susannah Westcott is a humanistic psychotherapist and counsellor. Her theoretical frames of reference include gestalt which means the focus of your sessions will be put on what is going on for you right now. This allows you to explore how events in your past may be influencing your present. Her goal is to work collaboratively with you to gain an awareness of any unfinished business that may need to be resolved or to trace self-defeating patterns and conditioning that are holding you back. Susannah also works with formative psychology which pays attention to how emotions are embodied.

People seek therapy for many reasons. You may come with a specific goal or perhaps you’re feeling a more general sense of burnout, anxiety or depression. Often the common cause is a desire for change and growth. Engaging with this may bring long-lasting rewards and a more satisfying way of being. As a humanistic psychotherapist, Susannah sees you as an individual with your own unique story that informs how you relate to yourself and to others as well as how you respond to the world. She will work with you in a confidential, non-judgemental environment so that you are free to explore any issue you choose at your own pace.

Having spent two decades working in London as a freelancer, Susannah understands the challenges of balancing work with other demanding commitments and pressures including deadlines, creative blocks and sabotaging behaviours. Whatever brings you here, therapy is an investment in yourself – a place where you can sow the seeds of change and give them the space to grow.

Susannah is a BACP registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist and abides by their Code of Ethics. She trained at Spectrum Therapy, a leading organisation in the practice and development of humanistic psychotherapy based in north London.
