Currently she is completing a Post-Grad Level 7 qualification in Attachment-Focused Psychotherapy - a masters-level training that deepens work with attachment patterns and relational wounds, with completion due in June 2026. Her clinical interests include attachment styles and inner child work, supporting people affected by narcissistic relationships, and helping with anxiety, obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours. She also has experience with eating disorders, body image concerns, relationship and communication difficulties, and low self-esteem.

Suzie combines integrative methods so each treatment plan is tailored to the individual or couple.

She offers a compassionate, listening-first approach aimed at creating a safe environment for exploration and change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and emotional responses. It helps clients explore attachment patterns, address relational wounds, and develop more secure ways of connecting with others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and teaches strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, obsessive thinking, and managing compulsive behaviours.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive stance where the therapist provides empathic listening and supports the client to find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and strengthening personal insight.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Suzie works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living away from in-person services. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access regular support from registered professionals, and fit therapy into everyday life.
