About Suzanne
Suzanne D'offay de Rieux welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, loss, relationship troubles, addiction, or anxiety. She introduces herself simply as Suzi and aims to help people find clarity and direction. Suzi affirms that reaching out is a meaningful step and meets people with acceptance and respect.
She describes her work as intuitive and integrative, placing the person at the centre of the sessions. Suzi draws on humanistic, person-centred, and cognitive behavioural ideas to shape practical conversations.
Background and approach
She does not give advice or label experiences; instead she helps people make sense of their feelings and choices. Suzi has 18 years of professional experience across community and specialist settings. Her background includes roles with Cruse Bereavement Care and Rape Crisis, and several years working within a prison context.
These roles involved supporting bereavement, sexual assault, trauma and related distress. She has over 11 years in independent practice across the UK, Switzerland and Italy, and has provided online work internationally since 2019. Suzi also trained as a PSYCH-K® Facilitator and practises life coaching alongside counselling and psychotherapy.
People come to Suzi for help with grief, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addiction, low self-esteem, parenting stress, sleep and eating issues, ADHD and mood differences such as bipolar. Her style is warm, creative and tailored to each person’s needs.

How Suzanne works online
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, and to try small, practical experiments that can change how people feel day to day. These techniques are useful for anxiety, mood difficulties and coping with stressful life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and together decide what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can change as someone makes progress.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins or for when less bandwidth is available, while others suit longer, more interactive sessions. Confirm the available arrangements so you can choose what fits your life.
