About Suzie
Suzie Pugh is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, intimacy problems, low self-esteem, eating concerns, addiction, sleep difficulties, trauma, and codependency patterns.
In session she listens and helps people notice how their early attachments affect current relationships. She uses a blend of client-centred conversation, cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness to unpick thoughts, habits and recurring cycles. Practical techniques and gentle reflection are both part of her approach.
Suzie has worked in a mental health charity running a fortnightly therapeutic support group for people with emotional health needs. She has completed thousands of client contact hours and is studying toward a postgraduate Level 7 qualification in attachment-focused psychotherapy, due for completion in June 2026.
Sessions focus on what the client brings and progress is paced to individual tolerance. That can mean learning new ways to set boundaries, reducing people-pleasing, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, improving sleep, or managing intense emotions. Suzie also offers space to look at pain from trauma, abuse or difficult long-term relationships.
People who come for help often want clearer communication, steadier mood, and more control over compulsive behaviours. Suzie aims to combine short-term practical tools with longer work on attachment and patterns that keep repeating. Practical steps and reflection are mixed across sessions to fit each person’s needs.
How sessions work
How Suzie’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current responses. Online sessions can be used to identify attachment patterns, practice new ways of relating, and address abandonment or attachment wounds that affect adult relationships.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflection and the client’s own priorities. In an online setting this often means open conversation guided by the client’s concerns, with the therapist reflecting back themes and feelings to increase self-understanding.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) works with thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and unhelpful routines. Online CBT-style sessions can teach short practical exercises, thought records and behavioural experiments to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzie will talk with each client about goals, preferences and how problems show up, then recommend a mixture of methods. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are listed when available. Online meetings can make it easier to attend from different locations, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and enable exercises such as behavioural experiments to be planned around real-life routines.
