Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. It looks at trust, closeness and patterns of relating, and can help with relationship strain and attachment difficulties.Client-centred therapy places the person's own experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens without directing and supports the person to make sense of their feelings and choices. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided processing to help reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the feelings tied to them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Suzanne will discuss options with each person and agree what to try based on their goals, history and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different methods and reviewing progress together.
The practical benefits of remote counselling include easier fitting of appointments around work or family life and options for shorter check-ins when needed. The biography notes a certificate in telephone and online counselling, but specific session formats are not listed here. Please confirm the exact online session options when booking so they suit your circumstances.
