About me

Hello, I’m Suzanne, a  HCPC registered counselling psychologist offering online therapy to adults and young people. I have a particular interest in women’s emotional wellbeing and supporting women through the menopause transition, as well as times of anxiety, trauma and significant life change. Menopause can affect far more than our physical health, influencing mood, identity, relationships, confidence and how we experience ourselves in everyday life. I offer a space to explore these changes, without judgement or pressure. I also work with people more widely experiencing anxiety, health-related challenges and significant life transitions .

I bring experience from a range of NHS and private services, including older adults, perinatal mental health, clinical health psychology and adoption services. 
My work is informed by attachment theory and psychodynamic thinking, alongside evidence-based approaches including Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and is always trauma-informed.

I believe the relationship we build is at the heart of good therapy. My approach is genuine, honest and warm. I take the work seriously but believe humour can be important at times. Most importantly, I aim to allow you to be yourself without having to pretend you’re ok or figure it all out.

You are very welcome to get in touch and get a sense of whether I am the right person for you at this time. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, menopause, or another difficult chapter in your life, we can work together to help you understand your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and develop practical
