Suzanne Bethell, NCPS

Suzanne Bethell helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress and life changes. She also supports clients dealing with addiction, bipolar and depression, parenting and intimacy-related concerns, and issues linked to adoption, attachment and blended families. Suzanne's name appears here because she wants people to know who they will meet at the start of their journey.

Suzanne uses straightforward, person-focused care. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused ideas to help people notice patterns and build practical steps forward.

Her approach is calm and respectful. Sessions are shaped around the person's goals rather than a fixed formula. Suzanne aims to create an atmosphere where people can talk honestly about fear, anger, grief or hope without feeling judged.

She has nine years of experience and holds NCPS, which is shown here as the qualification she uses in practice. Suzanne has worked in a range of settings as well as with private clients across the United Kingdom.

People meet Suzanne for both short-term focused work and longer conversations. Typical sessions will explore what is causing the difficulty, try small practical changes, and check how those changes affect day-to-day life. She encourages people to take things at a pace that feels manageable.

Suzanne welcomes sessions in English and sees clients from the UK and internationally. She works online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their routine and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Suzanne draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's experience in the room. This approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects feelings and helps the person steer the pace and focus of sessions. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through painful events or major life questions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT helps identify unhelpful patterns and introduces small experiments and practical strategies to change day-to-day reactions, often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will discuss goals, try methods and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving or deeper exploration over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for people who prefer writing or need to work around a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
