How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online work
Suzanne draws on person-centred practice and attachment-based ideas. Person-centred work focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, helping them feel understood and clarify what matters. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns, which can help with anxiety, intimacy and codependency issues.She also uses EMDR for trauma-related material. EMDR involves guided bilateral stimulation alongside focused memory work to reduce the intensity of disturbing memories and the emotions tied to them. It is commonly used for people who have experienced traumatic events and need a way to process those memories safely.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most practical, then adapt methods over time so therapy fits the person’s needs and pace.
If you are thinking about online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking. The main practical benefits are flexibility and convenience - it can be easier to fit appointments around work or family life, there may be less travel, and some people find shorter check-ins helpful on busy days. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial matching so sessions fit everyday routines.
