About Suzie

Suzie Pugh is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, relationships and intimacy, eating and body image concerns, and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with trauma, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD and major life changes.

Suzie describes an interest in attachment-related themes. She uses attachment-informed ideas and inner-child work to explore how early relationships can shape current responses. This helps when patterns of avoidance, control or fear of abandonment show up in relationships.

Her practice draws on client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural methods and mindfulness. That means sessions can include exploring thoughts and behaviours, learning practical skills, and practising grounding or breathing techniques. The approach aims to be steady and practical rather than theoretical.

Suzie also runs a fortnightly therapeutic support group for people needing extra emotional support. She is studying a Post‑Grad Level 7 course in attachment-focused psychotherapy, due to complete in June 2026.

Sessions focus on what the individual wants to discuss and at what pace. Suzie works collaboratively to build clarity, identify patterns that fuel anger or anxiety, and develop useful tools people can use between sessions. For international clients she works in English and follows the BACP registration noted above.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present behaviour and emotional responses. Online sessions can use this approach to track patterns in relationships, including how anger or avoidance shows up, and to practice new ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they can find their own solutions. In remote work this often means the counsellor mirrors concerns and helps clients choose practical next steps between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches actionable techniques. Online CBT sessions commonly include short homework tasks, skills practice and step-by-step work on unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anger and anxiety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods best suit the client's goals, needs and preferences. This will be reviewed as work progresses so the plan stays relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice techniques between sessions and bring real-life situations into therapy for immediate discussion.
