Suzy Cheong, BACP

Suzy Cheong is a United Kingdom credentialed counsellor who trained to a Master's level in pluralistic counselling and brings four years of professional experience to her practice. She also holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a well-recognised UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Her background includes work as a university counsellor as well as time in private practice, giving her experience supporting people at different stages of life and with varied concerns. She has worked with clients dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, motivation challenges, low self-esteem, and confidence difficulties. Her additional focus areas include body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Suzy adopts a collaborative, pluralistic approach - drawing on a range of evidence-based techniques and tailoring them to each person's needs. She believes that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be used to navigate change. Seeking a more fulfilling life takes courage, and she aims to support and empower people through that process while prioritising the therapeutic relationship as central to successful outcomes.

Evidence-informed approaches for online counselling

Suzy uses a pluralistic counselling approach, which means she draws from multiple evidence-based techniques and tailors methods to each person's needs. This pluralistic way of working focuses on matching interventions to what the client finds helpful and practical, making it suited to a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship or communication issues.

Alongside pluralistic practice, Suzy applies structured, evidence-informed techniques for stress, anxiety, and difficulties around eating and body image. These techniques typically include skills to manage symptoms, explore patterns that maintain difficulties, and build motivation and confidence, which can be especially useful for clients working through trauma, shame, or isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Suzy works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She supports clients in testing different strategies and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and to continue therapy across changes in location or routine.
