About Suzanne

Suzanne Ellis is a BACP-accredited counsellor with 19 years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, bereavement, trauma and a wide range of life challenges. She combines person-centred care with Gestalt training and EMDR certification to offer flexible, experience-informed support to adults, children and young people. Suzanne creates a calm, non-judgemental environment where clients are invited to explore difficult emotions, process painful experiences and develop practical coping strategies at their own pace.

Her academic and professional qualifications include a Masters Degree in Counselling, which is a postgraduate qualification in therapeutic practice, an Advanced Diploma in Gestalt Therapy, and a Diploma in Person-Centred counselling. She is a certified EMDR therapist, trained to use EMDR as a structured approach to help people process traumatic memories, and she holds a level 6 Certificate in therapeutic supervision, enabling her to provide supervision to counsellors and healthcare professionals. Suzanne also has a Certificate in Telephone and Online Counselling and a certificate in couples and relationship counselling, reflecting her skills in remote and relationship-focused work.

Suzanne works with a broad range of concerns including relationships, grief, self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting and family issues, neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism, and workplace or career-related stress. Her practice emphasises empathy, collaboration and practical tools to help clients move forward, find clarity and rebuild a sense of agency in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports personal growth. This approach is helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions because it prioritises the client's own goals and pace.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact. EMDR can be particularly useful for trauma-related symptoms and for people who find their past experiences interfering with day-to-day life.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how traumatic experiences affect thoughts, emotions and behaviour, and it uses evidence-informed strategies to support recovery and improved coping. It can help with complex grief, abuse, and other trauma-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne works with clients to identify goals, explore methods that feel appropriate, and adapt techniques to individual needs so that therapy feels aligned with the client's values and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and mobility needs, enabling consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
