About Suzanne

Suzanne Bethell is a psychotherapist registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has nine years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety. Suzanne also supports people facing addictions, parenting pressures, career challenges and anger.

She works in straightforward, conversational sessions. Suzanne uses a mix of practical talking therapies to help people notice patterns, try small changes and track what helps. She aims to make sessions direct and useful rather than full of jargon.

Her approach draws on client-centred principles that focus on the person rather than labels. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals. For people affected by past harm, she uses trauma-informed tools to reduce distress and increase coping.

Suzanne has worked in a range of settings and with private clients over her career. That variety has informed how she plans sessions and what she offers when someone comes with complex or overlapping issues, such as grief combined with anxiety or relationship problems alongside anger.

People who choose her work in a step-by-step way, often starting with immediate goals and then addressing deeper patterns. Sessions typically involve talking, reflecting on recent situations and trying new ways of responding between meetings. She welcomes people from different backgrounds and accepts international clients, with sessions offered in English.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions can reproduce this by giving space to tell a recent example, notice how it felt, and plan a small next step. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. In online meetings this often looks like reviewing situations, setting experiments to try between sessions and checking whether those changes altered stress or anger. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences and daily life. She discusses options and adjusts the plan as sessions progress rather than imposing a single route from the start. The practical benefits of online work centre on fitting therapy into everyday routines. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Many people find online meetings make it easier to schedule short check-ins, avoid travel time and keep therapy consistent when life is busy. Others appreciate that some formats use less data or don't require a video camera, which can make a session simpler to manage during a work break or between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote use to keep progress moving forward.
