About Suzanne

Suzanne Ellis welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low or stuck. She offers a calm space to talk about grief, trauma, relationship strain, addictions or stress. Suzanne emphasises practical ways to cope and regain a sense of direction when life feels out of balance.

Suzanne is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She holds a Masters Degree in Counselling, an Advanced Diploma in Gestalt Therapy and a Diploma in Person-Centred counselling. She also practises Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing and has a level 6 Certificate in therapeutic supervision.

In sessions she focuses on listening closely and helping people find strategies that fit their life. Suzanne aims to create a non-judgemental, empathic space where clients can work at their own pace. Conversations may lead to practical coping tools, clearer thinking about difficult choices, or ways to process painful memories.

She has worked in counselling for 19 years and offers supervision to other counsellors and healthcare staff. Suzanne supports people facing a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues around attachment and identity.

If you are considering therapy you will be asked some brief questions to help match you and to plan a first session. This helps Suzanne understand priorities and agree how to proceed together.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early patterns affect current feelings. Online sessions using this approach often look at patterns in how someone connects, helping them practise new ways of relating and managing strong emotions.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is used to help people process painful memories and reduce their emotional impact. In online work this may involve guided bilateral stimulation alongside talking through the memory and its meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss different methods and decide together what fits best with a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and provide a way to continue work when attending in person is difficult. It also allows shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling to suit work, caregiving and daily routines.
