Suzanne Bethell, NCPS

Suzanne Bethell welcomes people who are facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, mood difficulties and challenges linked to health and caregiving. She also supports people dealing with addiction, intimacy issues, parenting strains, career stress and compassion fatigue. Suzanne uses a warm, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable.

Suzanne has nine years of counselling experience and works in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS as a credential, which is shown here as supplied. Her caseload has included people affected by cancer, adoption and foster care issues, blended family and family conflict, domestic violence, and separation. She also addresses concerns such as attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems.

In sessions Suzanne adapts her methods to each person. She draws on client-centred ways of working to follow what matters most to the client. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking and doing, and solution-focused ideas to identify practical next steps.

Suzanne aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk through what is worrying them. She describes her role as supportive and empowering rather than directive. The focus is on small, realistic changes that help with day-to-day coping and longer term goals.

If someone decides to begin, they are invited to use the service start process and to book sessions that fit their life. Suzanne accepts international clients who are able to work in English and will discuss how best to tailor sessions to individual needs.

How Suzanne's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own priorities at the heart of each session, with the counsellor reflecting understanding and following the client's lead to help them make sense of difficult feelings. This is helpful for relationship stress, low mood and decision-making concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Suzanne will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. The choice of approach can change as needs shift, and decisions are made collaboratively.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people join sessions from different locations. The biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available formats before booking. A brief conversation at the start will clarify how sessions will run and what will work best for the person's situation.
