About Suzanne
Suzanne Ellis is a counsellor who helps people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, low or stuck. She welcomes clients who are dealing with loss, trauma, relationship strain, addictions, or big life changes. Suzanne offers a calm space to talk and to work through painful emotions at a pace that suits the person.
Suzanne draws on nearly two decades of practice to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She uses person-centred approaches to focus on what the client wants to explore.
Background and approach
She also integrates trauma-focused methods, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), when that fits the issue being worked on. Her background includes a Masters in Counselling, an Advanced Diploma in Gestalt Therapy, and a Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling.
Suzanne is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she holds a level 6 certificate in therapeutic supervision. Suzanne offers online work by phone, video, live chat or text messaging as suitable alternatives to in-person meetings. Sessions follow the client’s pace and practical needs, whether that means shorter check-ins by message or longer video conversations.

Online support
How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current connections and self-view. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their relationships and practise new ways of relating in conversation. Client-centred counselling places the person’s experience at the centre and follows their priorities; it uses active listening and gentle reflection to help people make sense of feelings and choices. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided attention to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional hold; it can be adapted for remote sessions when appropriate and agreed by both person and therapist.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the issue and change course if something does not feel helpful.
Online formats - video, phone, live chat or text messaging - offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work or childcare. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to arrange around everyday life.
