About Sulette
Sulette Snyman is a counsellor who uses a warm, person-focused style to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and low mood. She brings 21 years of experience to conversations about confidence, motivation and life direction. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Her approach starts with listening. She adapts discussions and plans to each person's situation instead of following a fixed script.
Background and approach
This makes it easier to tackle issues such as grief, intimacy concerns, eating or sleeping difficulties, and parenting strain. Sulette uses practical tools when helpful, including techniques from cognitive behavioural work and motivational interviewing to build small, sustainable changes. She also draws on client-centred and existential ideas to focus on values and meaning during times of uncertainty.
For people recovering from traumatic experiences, she can include EMDR as part of the conversation when appropriate. Her practice also addresses related concerns like abandonment, attachment and relationship patterns, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions follow a collaborative rhythm.
Early meetings clarify goals and priorities. From there the plan is reviewed and adjusted so people move at a pace that feels manageable. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Sulette aims to offer steady support through the process.

How different approaches work in online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgement. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for worries about parenting, relationships, or low self-esteem.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers simple exercises to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress management.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to reduce the hold of distressing memories. When appropriate, EMDR can be introduced as part of a wider plan to address trauma and abuse.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through options, try different techniques, and tailor the plan to goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps people feel more confident about the direction of therapy.
Online sessions offer real flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
