Suzanne Bethell, NCPS

Suzanne Bethell is a psychotherapist who supports people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety and low mood. She also helps those dealing with stress, addictions, self-esteem struggles and big life changes. Suzanne works with people who identify as LGBT and with concerns linked to parenting, intimacy, career and compassion fatigue.

She uses a mix of counselling approaches so sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Suzanne practises client-centred methods to listen and reflect, and draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed work to help clients identify next steps and process difficult experiences.

Suzanne trained and holds the NCPS credential and has nine years of experience working across different settings and with private clients in the United Kingdom. Her background includes supporting people through loss, relationship difficulties and long-term mood problems.

In a session she aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion while offering practical ways to cope. Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person’s comfort and goals. Suzanne encourages small, manageable steps that can make daily life feel easier.

If you are looking for someone to talk things through and plan changes, the pathway involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. International clients are accepted but confirm current session options before booking.

How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people lead conversations about what matters most. Online sessions using this approach give space for someone to tell their story while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what feels important.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. Reminders, worksheets and agreed steps can be discussed in sessions to help manage anxiety, mood or unhelpful habits.

Suzanne treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those aims. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan stays relevant to what the person needs.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. The main practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into everyday life - it can make it easier to plan appointments around work, childcare or travel. Online conversations can also allow shorter check-ins, sharing of homework tasks, and continuity when schedules or locations change. Registered or accredited professionals can work in this way to help people keep progress moving between sessions.
