About Suzanne

Suzanne Ellis offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or stuck. She helps clients who are grieving, managing stress, facing relationship strains or trying to cope after trauma. Her manner is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people find steady ground and clearer ways to cope.

Suzanne uses a person-centred approach to put the client at the centre of each session. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is part of her practice for processing distressing memories when appropriate.

With 19 years of experience Suzanne holds a Masters degree in Counselling and an Advanced Diploma in Gestalt Therapy. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her training also includes a diploma in person-centred counselling and certificates in couples work and therapeutic supervision.

Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the individual. Suzanne listens, reflects, and helps people try out new ways of handling difficult emotions and situations. She offers supervision to counsellors and healthcare professionals as well as direct counselling work.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. For people unsure where to begin, she suggests a simple first step to discuss what is worrying them and what they hope to change.

How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online care

Suzanne uses attachment-based ideas and EMDR as part of her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions, and it can help with relationship worries, trust issues and coping styles. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy used to help process disturbing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is often used after trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will talk with each person about their difficulties, goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working together. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust the approach as needed so it fits how the person wants to work.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online or telephone work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or schedule sessions around work or family commitments. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so you know whether video, phone or another option will be used.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
