Susanna brings more than 30 years of experience as an accredited psychotherapist, trainer and coach, alongside a clear and accessible way of explaining complex emotional patterns.
As the creator of the REPAIRenting® method, she helps audiences understand why anxious feelings, self-doubt, people-pleasing and a self-sabotaging relationship with money can persist even in ambitious, self-aware people who have already tried self-help, mindset work, coaching, and even psychotherapy.
Her interview style is warm, grounded and practical, combining theoretical insight with relatable examples from her practice and useful takeaways listeners can apply to their own lives.
Susanna Sweeney, MSc, MBACP, is a BACP accredited psychotherapist. With more than 30 years’ experience, she specialises in identifying and permanently clearing faulty childhood programming that continues to drive anxiety, self-doubt, diminished self-worth, relationship difficulties and limitations in business and life.
Her work with her proprietary REPAIRenting® method helps clients change the deeply embedded emotional and behavioural responses that understanding alone has been unable to resolve.
Having grown up in East Berlin, she has been living on the Irish west coast for most of her life. She is married with two kids.
The Emotional Ceiling on Success: How unworthiness, fear of visibility and discomfort with recognition can quietly limit career and business growth.
The Hidden Imposter: How childhood programming can fuel self-doubt, overworking and fear of being exposed, even in highly capable people.
Why You Cannot Think Your Way Out of Emotional Patterns: Why insight, mindset work and positive thinking may not be enough to create lasting change.
You’re Not Stuck, You’re Programmed: How early emotional learning can continue to shape confidence, decisions, relationships and success in adult life.
The Cost of Poor Boundaries: How people-pleasing, fear of conflict and over-responsibility can affect wellbeing, relationships and professional success.
Why Success Does Not Resolve Anxiety: How achievement can mask rather than remove the emotional patterns driving anxiety, self-doubt and self-sabotage.
Why Understanding Your Patterns Does Not Create Change: Why people can understand their patterns intellectually and still continue to feel stuck.
Why “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway” Often Fails: Why pushing through fear does not always resolve deep-rooted anxiety and self-doubt.
A clear understanding of why negative emotional patterns can persist even if you understand them or have been working on them for years.
A new perspective on how childhood programming can affect anxiety, confidence, boundaries, relationships and success.
Practical ways to recognise automatic emotional responses and the patterns underneath them.
Insight into why certain approaches like mindset work or pushing through fear can achieve the opposite of what you intend.
A more compassionate understanding of emotional cycles like people-pleasing, overworking and fear of visibility.
Hope that deeply rooted patterns can be changed at any age and that you do not have to settle for simply managing them.
