I don’t know what it is about Shushan but she is able to get to the jugular of the cause of the situation so quickly and effectively- and does it with such grace and compassion. I end up discussing things in the session I didn’t think i would go near or had in me. It is both eye opening and liberating to get this deep into the issues that matter. I’ve done a fair bit of therapy in the past and there is definitely something unique and special about Shushan’s style- I feel lucky to have been matched with her and am learning so much about myself. A blessing and a welcomed paved path to healing.

Hi, I'm Shushan, a BACP-registered Humanistic Integrative Counsellor. As someone who has lived and worked across different cultures for many years, I have a deep appreciation for diversity, identity, and the different ways people experience life, relationships, and emotional struggles. My background includes working internationally with organisations such as UNICEF and Save the Children, supporting individuals and families through challenging and often complex circumstances. These experiences shaped my understanding of resilience, trauma, human connection, and the importance of feeling emotionally safe. Alongside my professional life, I am also a mother to two girls, which has deepened my understanding of the pressures, transitions, and emotional demands many people carry in everyday life. I understand how easy it can be to lose yourself while trying to care for others, manage expectations, or navigate change. As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, drawing from different therapeutic approaches to meet you as an individual rather than fitting you into one model. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationships, self-esteem, trauma, anger, or life changes, I will work alongside you at your own pace with empathy, honesty, and care. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My way of working is warm, compassionate, and human. I aim to create a space where you can bring all parts of yourself without fear of judgement.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I have been searching for the right therapist for me to connect with & have trust in her knowledge and care, I have found this with Shushanik
Shushanik listens and analyses what I say very well. She is professional and knowledgeable
The sessions have help me a lot. I am very happy
Shushanik has been an incredible support throughout my journey, providing a safe and non-judgmental space that has allowed me to open up and grow significantly. Her attentiveness and genuine effort to understand and assist me have been transformative, making me feel much better and aiding in my personal growth. I couldn't recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking compassionate and effective therapy.
I find our sessions very beneficial.
Excellent therapist. Helpful and able to effectively analyse issues in a solutions-focused manner.
Very professional, friendly and attentive.
Shushan has been a great help so far. Thank you!
Shushanik has been fantastic in challenging me appropriately to introspect and unearth aspects of my past and the ways in which they have impacted me over my life. This is allowing me to better understand where my thoughts and behaviours have emanated from and how I can best reframe and create a new personal story.
Shushan has been a wonderful thus far in targeting my main issue (anxiety) and giving me tools to handle situations better moving forward. She is patient and attentive and I would highly recommend working with her.
