How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises building a reliable therapeutic relationship and exploring how early bonds affect current feelings and behaviour; it can be helpful for people struggling with trust, intimacy or repeated relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement, helping people find their own solutions by reflecting their experience back in a supportive way. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories by guiding a person through specific bilateral stimulation while they recall upsetting events, which can reduce the intensity of those memories. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Suzanne will discuss which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences and adapt the plan as therapy progresses. That collaborative decision-making helps ensure sessions feel relevant and useful. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow sessions from a convenient, quieter place. It can also let someone choose shorter check-ins when schedules demand and avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting if that helps them engage.
