Suzanne M Booth, NCPS

Suzanne M Booth is a counsellor with 17 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Suzanne works in a direct, respectful way and helps people take practical steps toward feeling better.

She believes people know their own story and brings a supportive presence to each session. Suzanne helps clients identify strengths they already have and use those strengths to face current challenges. Her style aims to be down-to-earth and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Suzanne draws on client-centred methods to make conversations feel grounded and real. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Solution-focused ideas help keep sessions goal-directed and practical.

Across her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns related to attachment, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, commitment worries, communication problems and control issues. She also has experience supporting people after separation, domestic violence, dissociation and eating related difficulties.

Suzanne tailors each plan to fit a person’s situation, choosing approaches that match what they want to change. She aims to help people build clearer thinking, steadier emotions and better ways of coping. The overall aim is to leave each person better able to manage day-to-day life and relationships.

Working online with client-centred and CBT approaches

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the person can explore their feelings and decide what matters to them. This approach is helpful when someone needs a calm space to sort out grief, relationship worries or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, stress and depression because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what has worked before, then agree a plan together. That collaborative choice helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable from the first appointment.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are close to a face-to-face meeting, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and messaging lets someone write when it suits them. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments.
