Suzie Bright, NCPS

Suzie Bright is a fully qualified counsellor who is insured to practise in the United Kingdom and is a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) - a professional body for counselling and psychotherapy. She trained in Transactional Analysis (TA), a humanistic approach that supports greater self-awareness, personal growth, and lasting change, and she often invites clients to explore feelings and patterns through art and creative methods to complement verbal work.

Suzie is also a member of the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO), reflecting her experience and commitment to offering therapy through remote formats. She describes her practice as culturally sensitive, with attention to how experiences of oppression or discrimination related to race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or spirituality, socioeconomic status, and ability can shape a person’s life and wellbeing. Prospective clients are encouraged to ask about her familiarity with specific cultural backgrounds and whether her way of working aligns with their needs.

She works empathically and collaboratively with people experiencing low self-esteem, low confidence, relationship difficulties, loneliness, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. Suzie supports clients who want to explore authenticity, move beyond perfectionism or people-pleasing, reduce self-criticism, and build self-compassion, healthier boundaries, and self-care. She offers practical guidance and presence through life transitions and bereavement, helping clients discover who they are now.

Suzie’s current counselling session times are Mondays 2.30pm, 4pm, 6.30pm, 7pm; Tuesdays 11.30am, 2.30pm, 4pm, 6.30pm, 7pm; Thursdays 10am, 11.30am, 2.30pm, 4pm, 5.30pm, 7pm; and Fridays 10am, 4pm. Open times are correct as of 13.10.25, and are subject to change. Please note that sessions may be in progress during these times, and she will respond to any messages as soon as she can, usually within 24 hours during the week.

Transactional Analysis and Creative Methods for Online Support

Suzie works with Transactional Analysis (TA), a humanistic approach that helps people understand patterns in their thoughts, feelings, and relationships to increase self-awareness and promote personal change. TA can be helpful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. She also integrates art and creative methods as complementary ways to explore emotion and meaning when words alone are not enough - these techniques can support grief work, emotional expression, and new perspectives on entrenched problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Suzie takes a collaborative stance, discussing options with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapting the work as therapy progresses in partnership with each person.

Online therapy with Suzie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to access consistent support without travel, and allow clients to engage from familiar environments while working with a registered professional experienced in online practice.
