About Suzanne
Suzanne Bethell is a psychotherapist registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has nine years of counselling experience. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, addiction and related concerns. Suzanne also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, and the impact of long-term illness or caregiving.
Suzanne uses practical counselling methods rather than one fixed technique. Sessions focus on what a person is finding hard now and on small steps that can reduce immediate distress. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people notice patterns, try different responses, and build stronger boundaries in relationships.
Her approach draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts, and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals. Suzanne also includes trauma-informed ways of working when past events are affecting day-to-day life. She explains interventions in simple terms and checks in about what feels useful for each person.
People who come for help often want to stop putting others first, manage mood swings, reduce anxiety, or handle loss and life changes. Suzanne invites clear conversations about these problems and practical coping steps to try between sessions. She asks about current pressures and works with each person to agree on small, realistic goals.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Before a first appointment people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial session through the booking process.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps people talk through their worries and feel heard without pressure to change immediately. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and useful steps to change day-to-day patterns.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss options with each person and decide together which approaches suit the presenting problems, goals and preferences. That collaborative discussion may lead to using mainly one method or combining elements from different approaches over time.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also allows people to continue talking with a therapist even if they are living abroad, since Suzanne accepts international clients. Practical arrangements such as timing, session length and whether to use video or phone are agreed during the booking steps.
