About Suzanne

Suzanne Bethell works on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing stress, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, parenting strains and career pressures. Suzanne is registered with the NCPS and has nine years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom.

Suzanne uses a range of counselling methods to match what a person brings to sessions. She listens to what is most important and then uses practical techniques from different approaches to help with the problem at hand. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change.

Her work includes responding to complex issues such as attachment and blended family difficulties, domestic violence, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiver stress. She also offers support for mood concerns including depression and bipolar, and for people affected by cancer or recovery from substance problems.

Suzanne draws on client-centred ways of working to make space for each person’s experience, and uses cognitive behavioural tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Solution-focused methods help set concrete goals, and trauma-focused techniques are used when past events affect current wellbeing.

Sessions are offered in English and Suzanne accepts international clients. She has worked in different settings and with private clients over her nine years of practice. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.

How Suzanne uses talking therapies online

Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them to make sense of their feelings and decide next steps. This approach supports people who need space to talk through relationship or personal issues.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, low mood and some stress-related problems.

Solution-focused therapy aims to identify clear, achievable goals and build on existing strengths to make small changes that matter day to day.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work in the first sessions. Suzanne will discuss the options and work together with the person to decide what methods suit their needs, goals and preferences.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework tasks to suit remote sessions and everyday routines.
