How Suzanne's approaches work online
Suzanne combines person-centred work with trauma-focused methods to help people process difficult experiences and make changes. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s pace to build understanding and trust. This approach is useful for exploring emotions, parenting concerns and relationship stress.EMDR and trauma-focused therapy offer structured ways to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation within a guided protocol and is often used when past events continue to affect daily life. Mindfulness techniques may also be included to help with anxiety, sleep and stress by teaching simple grounding and breathing practices.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Suzanne will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and the problems they want to address, then suggest a way forward. The plan can change as therapy progresses to match what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth sessions that benefit from face-to-face contact, while phone sessions often suit shorter check-ins or times with lower bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief reflections, flexible check-ins or when writing helps to organise thoughts. These options make therapy easier to fit around parenting, work and daily life.
