About Suzanne
Suzanne Bethell, NCPS, welcomes people who are looking for support with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress. She also helps with parenting concerns, addiction struggles, career stress and challenges related to LGBT identity. Suzanne frames the first contact as a small but important step towards clearer thinking and better coping.
Suzanne has nine years of experience working in a range of settings alongside personal clients.
Background and approach
She uses practical, person-focused counselling methods and adapts sessions to what each person needs. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the individual. Her approach draws on client-centred listening to help people feel heard.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Where trauma is central, trauma-focused methods are available to address distressing memories and reactions. Sessions aim to build small, manageable changes.
Suzanne will work with a person to set clear goals and try practical steps between sessions. The work can include problem solving, mood tracking and rehearsing different ways of responding in everyday life. People often come seeking relief from anxiety, support after loss, or clearer direction when life feels stuck.
Suzanne emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion throughout the process. She offers help to explore options and to strengthen coping over time.

Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor aims to create space for a person to talk and to feel accepted, which helps people clarify what matters and what they want to change.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple tools to notice unhelpful thinking and to practise different responses, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try techniques that suit the person’s needs. That way the work adapts over time based on what helps most.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help when quieter surroundings or less screen time are preferable. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can guide how to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life.
