About Suzanne

Suzanne Bethell is a psychotherapist who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress. She also supports people dealing with addictions, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, career questions and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. Suzanne lists work connected to adoption and foster care among her focus areas. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Suzanne brings nine years of experience to her practice and holds NCPS as her recorded credential. She has worked in a range of settings and with private clients. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, rather than a single fixed method.

Her approach mixes client-centred conversation with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused work. She also uses trauma-focused methods when a person has been through harmful or overwhelming experiences. In practice this means listening closely, gently challenging unhelpful thoughts, and trying short-term steps that can make life more manageable.

Suzanne aims to create a respectful, kind space where people can talk through hard things and test new ways of coping. She focuses on clear, practical goals and on helping people build skills they can use outside sessions. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on empowering the person in front of her.

If you are considering therapy she asks you to take the initial step and complete the short matching questionnaire. That helps match needs and schedule a first appointment.

How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It is about being listened to without judgement and exploring what matters most to you, which helps with issues like low mood, self-esteem and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change patterns that keep anxiety, depression or unhelpful behaviours in place.

Suzanne sees finding the right approach as a shared process. She will work with each person to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. That means together they can adapt the pace and focus as things change.

Because the biography does not list specific online formats, please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy life - it can make sessions easier to schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to support people in different locations.
