Suzanne Chalmers, NCPS

Suzanne Chalmers is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and the NCPS credential. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the after-effects of trauma. She aims to make it easier for someone to take the first step towards feeling better by offering steady, non-judgemental support.

Suzanne works in a straightforward, person-centred way that lets conversations follow what matters most to the client. She listens for the thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going, and helps people notice small changes that make a difference. Sessions are a space to talk honestly and work out practical next steps together.

She also uses solution-focused ideas to help people set short-term goals and try simple, concrete strategies between sessions. This can be useful for addressing relationship strain, low self-esteem, anger and panic, or when someone wants clear steps to cope with life changes.

Suzanne has experience supporting people with additional concerns such as ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, domestic violence, and multicultural issues. She pays attention to each person’s background and practical challenges when shaping the work.

People interested in working with Suzanne complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. International clients may be accommodated, and sessions are conducted in English.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Suzanne draws on client-centred therapy to keep the focus on the person in front of her. This approach means sessions start from the client’s priorities and feelings, with the counsellor reflecting and helping the person make sense of their thoughts and everyday habits. It is helpful for anxiety, depression and problems that feel overwhelming.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that emphasise small, practical changes. These methods help set short-term goals, try manageable experiments between meetings, and track what works for issues such as panic, low mood, relationship strain or coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss options with each person and agree a way of working that fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is reviewed as the work progresses to make sure it stays useful.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can access support from different locations.
