About Suzie

Suzie Pugh works on stress, anxiety, relationships, intimacy issues and eating concerns using an integrative approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of experience. Suzie uses talking therapy to help people manage mood, addictive behaviours, sleep problems and the practical strains of parenting and work.

She often focuses on attachment issues and patterns that affect relationships. Sessions commonly address abandonment fears, codependency, communication problems and commitment worries. Suzie also works with people experiencing trauma, dissociation, chronic illness, body image concerns and the emotional impact of ageing.

Suzie practises client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. That means she listens to what a person wants to work on, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and introduces mindful strategies to manage stress and strong emotions.

Her background includes clinical work in charitable mental health services where she runs a therapeutic support group. She holds the BACP credential and has completed more than 3,000 hours of client contact across eight years of practice.

Suzie adapts the pace and focus of sessions to what each person prefers. She aims to help people develop clearer thinking about problems and build practical skills to cope with low mood, anxiety, relationship challenges and life changes.

To start a conversation she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect adult behaviour; this can be useful for intimacy and repeated relationship problems. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's own priorities and uses reflective listening to clarify goals and feelings, helping with low self esteem and life changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) involves practical exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and develop alternative ways of thinking, which can help with anxiety, mood and compulsive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzie will discuss options with each person and agree a way of working based on their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time.

The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats offered. The biography does not specify session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a registered professional from another location while keeping a consistent appointment time.
