About Suzanne
Suzanne Bethell is a psychotherapist who helps people facing trauma, relationship troubles, grief, anxiety and low mood.

She trained and works in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Suzanne brings nine years of counselling experience across different settings, including independent practice.
Background and approach
That background means she is used to working with a wide range of concerns, from addictions and depression to parenting stresses and workplace strain. Suzanne tailors sessions to each person. She blends client-centred conversations with practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused strategies.
In practice that might mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying small behaviour changes, or setting short-term goals to build momentum. When trauma or abuse is part of the picture, Suzanne draws on trauma-focused approaches alongside gentle, person-led work. She aims to create a calm pace and offers support for issues such as attachment, codependency, domestic violence and intimacy-related worries.
People can expect direct, simple guidance and steady emotional support. Suzanne encourages clients to set the agenda and works collaboratively to find coping strategies that fit everyday life. The goal is clearer thinking, better coping and more manageable next steps.

Practical therapy approaches for online work
Trauma-Focused Therapy is aimed at helping people process distressing events and reduce the ways those memories interfere with daily life. Work tends to be paced to suit the person and may combine talking with techniques to manage strong reactions.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can lead the conversation. It helps people feel heard, build self-understanding and make choices that fit their values.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward tasks and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and ease symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That means reviewing progress and adjusting the plan together as therapy continues.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when they can, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, paced reflections or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, and to keep contact consistent over time.
