Suzanne Grabowski , ACA

Suzanne Grabowski is an ACA counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and big life changes. She focuses on women’s issues alongside family and trauma-related concerns. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to help people feel heard and more capable of managing day-to-day pressures.

Suzanne draws on her background in counselling, community services and nursing to look at both emotional and physical wellbeing. She offers straightforward tools people can use between sessions. Conversations are practical and paced to suit each person's needs.

Therapy sessions often include work on coping with anxiety, processing trauma and building self-esteem. Suzanne also addresses relationship patterns, attachment concerns and family of origin issues. She tailors support when people are dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress or changes in family structure.

Her style blends client-centred listening with clear strategies from cognitive behavioural and acceptance-based approaches. Suzanne uses emotionally-focused work when relationships or attachment wounds are central. The result is a mix of skills practice and honest conversation aimed at steady progress.

Suzanne has three years of counselling experience in Australia and holds ACA membership with the Australian Counselling Association. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs.

Online approaches that fit your life

Suzanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and choose actions that match their values. ACT can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of daily life.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. This work is useful for people who feel stuck in repeated relationship cycles or struggle with closeness and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. Together you can try different ways of working and pick what feels most useful as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
