Sulette Snyman

Sulette Snyman is a counsellor with 21 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression while building self‑esteem and confidence. She works with clients who have experienced trauma and abuse and supports those seeking clearer motivation and direction.

Sulette aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. She encourages small, practical steps so goals feel achievable and progress is visible.

Her background includes a range of therapeutic approaches. Sulette uses client‑centred techniques to create an open space for people to speak, and she draws on cognitive behavioural tools to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking. She also uses EMDR where appropriate to address traumatic memories and existential ideas to look at meaning and life choices.

She supports people through relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting stresses, career decisions and life transitions. Additional focus areas include issues such as abandonment, attachment, fertility and immigration challenges. These are woven into personalised work rather than treated as separate modules.

Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans and Sulette accepts international clients. The first sessions typically clarify what matters most, set simple goals and agree how to proceed so therapy fits into everyday life.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they help

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. It gives people space to talk about what matters most while the counsellor reflects and helps clarify feelings and priorities.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and improve mood and behaviour.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method aimed at reducing the emotional intensity of traumatic memories through guided processing techniques. It can help people feel less overwhelmed by past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that fit you. That way sessions stay collaborative and focused on real life changes.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy often helps people fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time and use shorter check‑ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it easier to see a counsellor who works in a different location or country, while keeping the focus on practical steps and outcomes.
