About Suzanne
Suzanne D'offay de Rieux is a counsellor and psychotherapist who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. She keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate, aiming to help clients feel understood and regain a sense of direction. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, low self-esteem and work-related strain.
Suzanne uses an integrative style that blends humanistic and person-centred ways of working with practical cognitive approaches. She places the person at the centre of the work, listening first and tailoring tools to each situation.
Background and approach
The aim is to help clients make sense of their feelings and try out different ways of coping. Her background includes 18 years of therapeutic practice and more than a decade in independent practice across the UK, Switzerland and Italy. Suzanne has worked with bereavement services and sexual assault support, and she has experience in prison settings supporting complex loss and trauma.
Suzanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and describes her work as both brief and longer term depending on need. She also practises PSYCH-K and strategic intervention coaching alongside her counselling and psychotherapy roles. She has supported expats and people with multicultural lives, and has offered online therapy internationally since 2019.
Suzanne aims to meet people with acceptance and practical guidance, helping them move from survival toward a more authentic life.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Suzanne commonly blends person-centred and cognitive approaches. Person-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers. It suits those who need a steady, respectful space to talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive techniques look at thoughts and behaviours and introduce practical steps to reduce anxiety and manage mood or stress.She also offers integrative coaching elements that bring goal-focused tools into therapy. These methods can help when someone wants clear, practical changes alongside emotional processing. Deciding which approach to use happens together: Suzanne will discuss options and adapt the work to each person's goals and preferences so the plan fits their life.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for fuller dialogue and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can suit people who prefer more frequent, brief contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and they allow international clients to connect with a therapist who understands multicultural experience.
