Background and approach

She trained to a Masters level in counselling and holds diplomas in person-centred and Gestalt approaches. She also has training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, and provides therapeutic supervision to other counsellors and healthcare staff. In sessions she listens without judgement and follows the client's lead, using person-centred ideas to help people feel heard.

She may bring mindfulness exercises into conversations to help calm the body and mind. For people with traumatic memories, she uses EMDR techniques alongside trauma-focused thinking when appropriate. Suzanne explains problems plainly and helps clients develop practical coping strategies.

That can mean hands-on techniques for stress, ways to manage sleep and eating concerns, or steady support through grief and major life changes. She also offers guidance around relationship and intimacy issues, addiction-related concerns, and work or career stress. All sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Sessions sit within a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and scheduling is arranged after a short matching questionnaire.

How Suzanne’s approaches work in online therapy

Suzanne draws on person-centred and trauma-focused methods to guide online work. Person-centred therapy centres on listening and reflecting, giving people space to tell their story and name what they need. This approach helps with ongoing stress, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues. Trauma-focused therapy and EMDR work directly with distressing memories and intense emotional reactions, and can be useful for people recovering from trauma or abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Suzanne collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and comfort level. She will explain options, try techniques in-session, and adjust the plan based on how the client responds so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different circumstances. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone can be easier when a quieter connection or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when written replies feel more comfortable. These options make it simpler to maintain regular appointments around work, family or mobility constraints.
