About Me: Single parent and counsellor

 My Background and experience

I’m Susanne Alderman. I'm a single mum and I'm also a qualified UK-based counsellor specialising in support for single parents, solo parents, lone parents, lone carers, adoptive parents and kinship carers. I work primarily online with clients across the UK, offering accessible counselling for anyone raising children alone.

I support parents experiencing stress, burnout, overwhelm, co-parenting conflict, separation, divorce, domestic abuse, emotional trauma, family court proceedings, Children’s Services involvement, life transitions, identity changes and anxiety linked to parenting alone.

As a single parent myself, I understand the challenges of balancing paid work, childcare, emotional pressure, and major life changes. My counselling approach is person-centred and existential, offering a calm, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, process difficult experiences, and regain confidence in your own strength and direction.

Sessions are online, with school-hour and evening appointments available to fit real family life. For clients near Bradford-on-Avon,Wiltshire,  I can offer in-person therapy in a hired, private room in the town centre.
I offer £60 per 50-minute session, with reduced-rate spaces for those who need them, plus a free 15-minute introductory call.

If you’re looking for counselling for single parents, support for lone parents, or online therapy for parents across the UK, you’re in the right place.
