About Suzie

Suzie Pugh, BACP, helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating issues, low self-esteem, addictions and sleeping problems. She supports people dealing with trauma, parenting strain, anger, career changes, bipolar and depression, and those navigating life transitions or ADHD. Suzie works with a wide range of related concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and communication problems.

Suzie offers a calm, attentive approach in session. She listens and reflects rather than rushing to fixes. People are invited to set the pace and to focus on what matters most to them. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and manage.

Her practice draws on attachment-based work, client-centred principles, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. That mix lets sessions include practical steps, emotion-focused reflection and tools to change unhelpful patterns. Suzie adapts the approach to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method.

She has eight years of professional experience and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Suzie also runs a therapeutic support group at a mental health charity, where she works fortnightly with people who need extra emotional support.

Sessions are designed to build understanding of past patterns and to develop practical coping strategies. Suzie describes therapy as a shared journey, focused on small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning.

How Suzie’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work helps people understand how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. It focuses on how people form bonds and what happens when those bonds feel unsafe, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what the person brings, helping them make sense of feelings and choices in everyday life.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns through simple exercises and experiments.

Finding the right approach is a process. Suzie works collaboratively to decide which methods fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things out together and adjusting the plan if something does not feel helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to connect when travel is difficult. Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are supplied on the therapist’s profile. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and usable within everyday life, whether that means shorter check-ins on a workday, sessions that do not require video, or arranging appointments outside commuting hours.
