About Suzanne

Suzanne Bethell is a psychotherapist with nine years of experience supporting people through hard moments. She welcomes enquiries from across the United Kingdom and from international clients. Suzanne regularly helps people dealing with anxiety, low mood and stress, and also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain, and parenting concerns.

Suzanne uses a range of counselling methods so each session is tailored to the person in front of her.

Background and approach

She aims to create a calm space where someone can speak frankly about what is happening in their life. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, with practical conversations alongside reflective work. Many people come to Suzanne for help with coping after loss, managing mood problems, or addressing addictive patterns.

She also supports those facing career uncertainty, work-related compassion fatigue, and difficulties with intimacy or communication. A further focus includes adoption and foster care related issues and blended family challenges. Suzanne lists Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy among the approaches she draws on.

She adapts techniques to the goal a person brings, whether that is short-term problem solving or longer-term processing of painful experiences. She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs and routines.

People who want to begin simply use the platform's matching steps and then schedule sessions that fit their timetable.

Online support

How Suzanne’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space, letting people talk through what matters most to them and decide the direction of therapy. It helps with self-esteem, life changes and building confidence to make choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It is practical and structured, often used for anxiety, depression and stress, and can include simple exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit the person and the problem. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different routines and needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a shorter break, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
