About me
My name is Suzie Bright (she/her), and I reside in Lewes, East Sussex, near Brighton, with my husband and our cats. I consider myself a quiet, gentle, and empathetic individual.
As a fully qualified and insured professional counsellor, I am a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and adhere to their ethical guidelines. Additionally, I am part of the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO).
I collaborate with my clients to enhance their overall well-being. I approach counselling with cultural sensitivity, utilising a blend of humanistic therapeutic practices, including Transactional Analysis and Person-Centered Therapy. I also encourage clients to explore art and creative methods as a means of expression.
I provide one-on-one sessions for individuals aged 18 and over in the UK, offering both short-term and long-term counselling that is easily accessible.
My counselling services are available in three formats:
1. Online Counselling through video and phone calls.
2. In-Person Counselling at therapy rooms located in Lewes, Glynde, and Brighton.
3. Walk and Talk Therapy within a ten-mile radius of Lewes.
I work with individuals, aged 18 and older, from anywhere in the UK. The most common issues I encounter in therapy include:
**Grief and Loss:** Are you mourning a loved one, a relationship, a pet, your health, your job, or your home? Do you experience feelings of loss regarding belonging, self-identity, purpose, or self-esteem?
**Depression and Anxiety:** Are you grappling with a persistent sense of flatness or being stuck? Do you feel a mix of sadness, anger, and fear that hinders you from fully engaging in life?
**Self-Discovery and Authentic Living:** Are you seeking to deepen your self-awareness? Do you need a supportive space to explore who you are and the changes you wish to make to embrace your true self?
Experiencing loss can profoundly impact us, affecting every aspect of our lives and leaving us feeling isolated. It can be challenging to break free from this cycle and feel truly unstuck. In our counselling sessions, I aim to ensure you feel seen, heard, and connected, helping you navigate through the darkness.
I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute introductory call with me to address any questions you may have.

Further information
The modality I trained in between 2018-2022, is Transactional Analysis (TA) which is a humanistic therapy all about increasing self awareness, personal growth and change. I can help you to discover conscious and unconscious messages you received during your childhood which formed your personality and life script. I can help you to think about how your life script might be limiting you from flourishing and becoming the person you want to be. I have an approach which is trauma informed, and person centred. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and I will relate to you equal to equal. I also like to invite clients to use art and creative methods to aid the therapy.
I am a culturally sensitive counsellor. I understand this to mean having heightened sensitivity to a client’s experience of oppression or discrimination due to their race and ethnicity, their gender, age, sexual orientation, religion/spirituality, socio-economic status and ability status. Please contact me to ask any questions you might have about my familiarity with your specific culture, what you are looking for, as well as whether my way of working aligns with your own needs.
