Therapeutic approaches Suzanne uses for online work
Suzanne draws on client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the person’s experience leads the work; this approach focuses on empathy and understanding and is often helpful for building self-esteem, improving communication and navigating life changes. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured therapy that supports processing of traumatic memories and intense emotional reactions so people can experience reduced distress linked to past events. Suzanne integrates trauma-focused therapy principles when trauma or abuse has shaped current difficulties - these methods concentrate on stabilisation, processing experiences safely and developing practical coping skills to manage symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Registered professionals and therapists typically work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals and preferences, and Suzanne will guide that choice while adapting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Suzanne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, while allowing sessions to suit work, family and mobility considerations.
