Suzanne Bethell, NCPS

Suzanne Bethell NCPS welcomes people who are facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, stress or anxiety. She also supports those dealing with addiction, parenting challenges, career pressures, and mood difficulties such as depression or bipolar. Suzanne mentions compassion fatigue and a wide range of family and intimacy-related concerns as areas she commonly sees.

Suzanne is a psychotherapist registered with NCPS and has nine years of counselling experience working in different settings. She aims to make sessions feel personal and practical. That often means listening first, then talking through small, manageable steps to try between meetings.

Her approach mixes client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ways of working. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm is part of the picture. The result is a flexible style that adapts to each person’s situation.

Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Suzanne says she treats people with sensitivity and respect and helps them find practical ways to cope. People can expect a calm, straightforward tone and tasks that relate to daily life.

Suzanne accepts international clients and runs work that aims to empower people to make steady changes over time. If a reader is unsure whether this is the right fit, she recommends starting with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session based on availability.

How Suzanne’s approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. It suits issues where being heard and understood is the first step, such as grief, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises. It can help with anxiety, stress, low mood and everyday habits people want to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Suzanne will talk through goals and preferences and suggest which ideas to try first. The plan can change as progress is made, so clients help steer what feels most useful.

The practical advantages of online therapy depend on the session arrangements currently offered. Please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or manage childcare more easily.
