About Suzie

Suzie Pugh is a counsellor with eight years' experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy concerns. She works with issues such as eating and body image, addictions, sleep problems, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing trauma, abuse, anger, low self-esteem and career-related strain. Suzie is based in the United Kingdom and is a BACP-registered counsellor.

Suzie uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s needs at the centre of each session. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with stuck thinking and unhelpful behaviours, and attachment-focused ideas to look at patterns that began in early relationships. Mindfulness tools are offered when they fit someone’s goals and everyday life.

Sessions are shaped around what the person wants to address and at a pace that feels manageable. Suzie aims to listen with empathy and to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Practical strategies and simple exercises are used so people can practise skills between sessions.

She has experience working with support groups at a mental health charity, which informs her approach to vulnerability and group dynamics. Suzie is studying a Post-Grad Level 7 (Masters Level) qualification in attachment-focused psychotherapy, due to complete in June 2026.

Suzie commonly supports men’s wellbeing concerns as part of her practice, while working with a wide range of other presenting problems. International clients can be booked in English. To begin, users are asked to use the platform’s Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How Suzie’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based ideas explore how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when trust, closeness or abandonment worries recur in adult life and in relationships. It aims to notice repeated reactions and explore gentler ways of relating.

Client-centred practice focuses on being listened to and guiding the conversation around what matters most to the person. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Together these approaches can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship problems and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then adapt the methods used. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use short check-ins when needed. The biography does not specify exact session formats here, so confirm the available options before booking to know how sessions will be arranged.
