About me
My name is Suzie Bright (she/her). I live in Lewes, in East Sussex (near Brighton) with my husband and our cats. I'm a quiet, gentle, and empathic person.
As a fully qualified and insured professional counsellor I am a registered member of National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and abide by their code of ethics. I am also a member of the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO).
I work in collaboration with my clients to improve their general wellbeing. I'm a culturally sensitive counsellor and use a mixture of humanistic therapeutic modalities including Transactional Analysis, and Person Centered Therapy. I also like to invite clients to use art and creative methods to aid expression.
I work on a 1:1 basis with individuals aged 18 and over, living in the UK and looking for either short term or long term, easy-to-access counselling.
I offer three ways of counselling:
- Online Counselling using video and telephone calls.
- In-Person Counselling in therapy rooms in two East Sussex Locations: Lewes and Glynde
- Walk and Talk Therapy within a ten mile radius of Lewes.
I work on a 1:1 basis with adults, aged 18 and over, living anywhere in the UK. The issues I have noticed arise most frequently for people in therapy sessions are...
Grief and Loss:
Are you grieving a loved one, a relationship, your pet, your health, your home? Do you feel a loss of belonging, loss of self identity, loss of purpose, loss of self-esteem or confidence, or a general loss of joy?
Depression and Anxiety:
Are you living with a persistent feeling of flatness, stuckness? Have a mix of sadness, anger and fear which prevent you from living your life?
Self-discovery and living with authenticity:
Do you want to gain a deeper level of self awareness? Do you need a space to help you work out who you are and what changes to make, in order to become more you.
When we experience a loss this can affect us deeply. Our whole life can suffer, and we can feel very alone. It can be hard to get out of this cycle and we can feel completely stuck. In your counselling sessions I will help you to feel seen, heard and connected so you can break through the dark clouds.
You're welcome to book a free 15 minute intro call with me to ask any questions you might 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.
