How Suzanne's approaches work online
Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the counsellor. Online sessions using this approach give time to talk through feelings and build a trusting working relationship. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.EMDR is a method used to work with distressing memories by guiding attention while recalling upsetting experiences. In practice it aims to reduce the intensity of painful memories and the distress they cause, which can be useful after trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Suzanne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit them. Decisions about using EMDR, mindfulness or a person-centred focus are made collaboratively so the work fits the person’s needs.
If you prefer to have sessions online please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not exhaustively listed in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people attend from quieter surroundings or when they need a more flexible scheduling option.
