About Suzanne
Counsellor Suzanne Bethell is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has nine years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, anxiety and depression, and with life changes such as parenting and career concerns. Sessions also cover stress, addictions, intimacy-related issues and LGBT concerns.
Suzanne draws on several approaches to shape sessions to each person. She uses client-centred ways of working to focus on what matters to the individual. She also brings cognitive behavioural techniques to look at patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood.
Therapy can be practical and focused. Suzanne uses solution-focused methods when people want short-term, goal-orientated work. For those affected by past harm, she includes trauma-focused ideas to help manage memories and strong emotions.
Her background includes work across different settings and with private clients in the UK. The NCPS credential is noted as her registering body. She works in plain, direct language and aims to help people talk through painful subjects and find manageable steps forward.
Sessions are offered in English and Suzanne accepts international clients. The cost varies with location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are invited to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches Suzanne uses in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The counsellor listens without directing and helps people find their own solutions; this is useful for issues around self-esteem, relationships and everyday stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It includes practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and to reduce anxiety or low mood through small changes.
Suzanne aims to work with clients to find the best approach. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process based on what the person needs and what feels manageable. The plan can change as therapy progresses and goals become clearer.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and avoiding travel time. Different formats can suit different needs, so please confirm the exact session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, arrange sessions across time zones, or choose not to use video if that is preferable.
