Suzie Pugh , BACP

Suzie Pugh BACP helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy difficulties, eating and body image concerns, low self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems and parenting strain. She also supports those coping with life changes, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and attention-related challenges like ADHD. Suzie works with issues around abandonment, attachment, communication problems and relationship breakdowns.

Suzie describes her style as warm and focused. She listens with empathy and offers a calm space to talk. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and pace. The first conversations centre on what matters most to the client.

Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix allows practical tools alongside exploration of early relationship patterns and emotional responses. Where useful, sessions include strategies for managing anxious thoughts and improving day-to-day coping.

Suzie has eight years of professional experience and works in the United Kingdom. She also facilitates a fortnightly therapeutic support group for a mental health charity, offering additional support to people with emotional wellbeing challenges. Her BACP credential is recorded as BACP.

Sessions can focus on improving communication, managing compulsive or eating-related behaviours, resolving feelings after separation, or building healthier boundaries. Suzie aims to help people gain clarity, practical skills and a stronger sense of self as they work through difficult situations.

How Suzie's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practise different ways of connecting and setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours; it offers clear tools for managing anxiety, compulsive behaviours and mood symptoms that work well in remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Suzie will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That means checking in regularly and adapting the style of therapy as progress is made or new needs arise.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or when typing helps someone organise their thoughts. These options make it easier to continue therapy around work, family and travel commitments while using the same therapeutic approaches and tools.
