Suzie Pugh, BACP

Suzie Pugh helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship or intimacy problems. She supports people dealing with eating and body image concerns, addictions, sleep difficulties and the practical strains of parenting or caring for others. She also works with those facing trauma, abuse, anger, ADHD, bipolar and major life changes.

Suzie uses a straightforward, person-focused style. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs and the pace they prefer. She draws on practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside an attachment-informed perspective and mindfulness practices to help people feel steadier day to day.

Her approach gives space to understand how early relationships affect current patterns. That helps when someone is coping with abandonment, attachment wounds, dependency issues or problems with commitment and trust. Suzie also addresses communication and blended family tensions, divorce and separation, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or caring responsibilities.

People can expect collaborative sessions that balance talking, reflection and hands-on coping strategies. Work often includes spotting unhelpful thinking, trying out small experiments and using mindful awareness to manage distress. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as needs shift.

Suzie is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has eight years’ clinical experience. She offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and to international clients in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.

How attachment, CBT and mindfulness work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and coping. Online sessions allow people to talk through patterns of trust, abandonment or dependency and try new responses in a steady, reflective way.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. It works well for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and compulsive behaviours because sessions include practical exercises and short experiments between meetings.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation. These techniques can be used during a session and practised afterwards to manage stress and intrusive thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods together to see what helps. That collaborative process guides which therapies are emphasised over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for full conversational work and visual cues, phone is good if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and travel.
