About Suzanne
Suzanne D'offay de Rieux offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting and related stresses. She welcomes those wrestling with anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, low self-esteem, and life changes. Her opening aim is to help parents find clearer thinking and steadier days.
Suzanne draws on a mix of humanistic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She tailors sessions to each person, listening first and then working collaboratively to set simple, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Work can be brief and solution-focused or longer term depending on what feels most helpful. She has 18 years of professional experience and is a BACP member. Much of her background includes bereavement support and work with people affected by sexual assault and abuse.
This experience informs how she supports people through traumatic loss and complex grief. Suzanne also uses life coaching tools and PSYCH-K, a subconscious belief-change process, when clients want to explore deeper belief patterns that get in the way of change. She has practised in several countries and has run a independent practice for over a decade.
Sessions are offered online, and she works with individuals and couples remotely. People choosing to work with her can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space where the focus is on practical steps, emotional processing, and reconnecting with what matters. Her style is warm, direct and creative, aimed at helping people regain balance and move towards more authentic, manageable family life.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Suzanne uses person-centred work that focuses on being heard and understood. This approach helps people feel accepted and build a clearer sense of what they want to change.She also uses practical cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative behaviours. These tools are useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and stressful parenting situations.
When requested, Suzanne brings life coaching methods to set concrete goals and PSYCH-K work to explore deep belief patterns that may be holding someone back. Each method is explained and chosen together with the client rather than imposed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne collaborates with each person to agree what helps most, adapting methods as situations and goals evolve. This shared planning keeps therapy focused and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family life. Video calls let people use visual connection when that matters. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit ongoing support between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work and travel while keeping the focus on practical changes and emotional recovery.
