Background and approach
She has nine years of experience working in different settings and with personal clients across the United Kingdom. That background means she has seen a wide range of life situations and emotional struggles. Her style adapts to each person.
Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, using conversation and techniques from approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, solution-focused tools and trauma-focused methods. Suzanne keeps things straightforward and works at a pace the person finds comfortable. In practical terms Suzanne listens for the immediate problems and for patterns that keep causing pain.

How Suzanne works online
She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try out small, practical changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it breaks problems down into steps people can practise between meetings.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. Suzanne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which approaches suit the presenting issues and the person's pace. The decision is collaborative and can change over time if needed.
