Suzie Bright , NCPS

Suzie Bright is a counsellor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people facing eating concerns, career questions, ADHD and challenges linked to identity and LGBT matters. Suzie works in the United Kingdom and uses plain, collaborative conversations to make sense of what is happening now.

Suzie trained in Transactional Analysis, a humanistic approach that focuses on increasing self-awareness and supporting change. She often invites creative methods such as art into sessions to help people express things words sometimes miss. Sessions aim to be practical and gentle, with the pace set by the person attending.

She describes herself as culturally sensitive and is willing to discuss how her experience aligns with a person’s background and beliefs. That includes talking about how race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, class or ability might shape someone’s experience and their needs in therapy.

Suzie works in partnership with people to reduce self-criticism, build self-compassion, and establish healthier boundaries. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment or commitment concerns and with the practical impacts of divorce, separation and family problems.

Clients can use a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Suzie is a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS, and brings three years of counselling experience to her practice.

Approaches and online counselling options

Transactional Analysis focuses on increasing self-awareness by helping people recognise the ways they relate to themselves and others. It can be useful for relationship issues, self-esteem and patterns that cause repeated conflict. Creative methods such as art are used alongside talk work to access feelings that are hard to put into words; these can help when grief, shame or trauma feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques and adapt the way sessions run to match needs and preferences. Together they decide what is most helpful as therapy progresses.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people see non-verbal cues and supports deeper conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or times when typing feels easier than talking. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and life commitments.
