Suzanne Ellis offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or life changes. She meets clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to cope, and helps them find practical ways to manage strong feelings and move forward.

Suzanne uses a warm, person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and identifying small steps that make a real difference day to day. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect emotional wellbeing.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in counselling and an Advanced Diploma in Gestalt therapy. Suzanne is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and has 19 years of practice experience.

She offers EMDR for people who have distressing memories that disrupt life and relationships, alongside mindfulness techniques to help reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

How Suzanne’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and the ways early bonds shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practise different ways of relating when stress or fear show up.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection so clients can make sense of their thoughts and decide on small, manageable steps to feel better.

EMDR is used for distressing memories that continue to cause strong reactions. In an online setting it involves guided attention and structured processing to reduce the intensity of troubling memories and the emotions that come with them.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will discuss different methods with each person, agree goals and adapt techniques to match needs and preferences. The aim is to find what helps most, not to push a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls for full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and medical appointments while keeping regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
