Suzanne Ellis , BACP

Suzanne Ellis offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, addiction, depression and ADHD. Suzanne aims to create a welcoming space where people can talk things through at their own pace and find ways to cope day to day.

Suzanne uses listening and gentle reflection to help people feel heard and understood. She draws on approaches that focus on how people form bonds, how past experiences affect current feelings, and on mindful ways to manage difficult emotions. Sessions are aimed at helping people make sense of painful events and decide on practical next steps.

She has 19 years of experience and is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Suzanne holds a Masters degree in counselling and additional diplomas in Gestalt and person-centred work. She also holds a certificate in couples and relationship counselling and a level 6 certificate in therapeutic supervision.

Suzanne has training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, and she offers trauma-focused support alongside attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working. Her background includes work with long-term stress, grief, chronic illness and caregiver strain.

Sessions can be arranged by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits both client and therapist. Suzanne works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Suzanne uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This approach can help people understand patterns in close relationships and improve how they connect with others.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, for processing traumatic memories and distressing events. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories so they cause less emotional disturbance in day to day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne treats decision-making as a collaboration and will discuss which methods suit someone’s goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan together with the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, brief support between sessions or people who find typed communication easier.

These options make therapy more flexible and accessible for different routines and needs while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress with the chosen therapeutic approach.
