About Suzanne

Suzanne Ellis is a BACP-accredited counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 19 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, relationships, addiction, anger and related concerns. Sessions aim to help people manage difficult feelings and find clearer ways to cope.

Suzanne uses person-centred and Gestalt ideas to keep sessions grounded in whatever matters most to the client. She also offers EMDR for people processing traumatic memories, and draws on mindfulness to support calmer responses to stress. Her approach is straightforward and conversational rather than clinical jargon-filled therapy.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what is happening for them. Suzanne emphasises listening, reflecting and helping people notice patterns in how they react to stress and relationships. Practical coping strategies are discussed alongside emotional processing.

Her training includes a Masters degree in counselling, an Advanced Diploma in Gestalt Therapy, a Diploma in Person-Centred counselling and EMDR certification. She holds a level 6 Certificate in therapeutic supervision and provides supervision to counsellors and healthcare professionals. Suzanne is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She also has a Certificate in Telephone and Online Counselling and a certificate in couples and relationship counselling. For anyone unsure where to start, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can outline their immediate concerns and goals.

How sessions work

How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online work

Suzanne uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to help people understand how relationships and early patterns shape reactions now. Attachment-based work looks at those patterns and how they affect trust and anger, while client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can find their own answers.

She also offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for people processing traumatic memories. EMDR works through upsetting memories in a paced way so they feel less intrusive, which can reduce strong emotional reactions linked to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss your goals, past experiences and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process helps tailor the focus without assuming one method fits everyone.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into busy days, keeping check-ins shorter on tougher days, or using video when face-to-face style interaction is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can vary how they run online sessions, and Suzanne’s practice asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to clarify practical arrangements.
