About Suzanne
Suzanne Bethell NCPS is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress. She also helps with addiction concerns and major life changes such as separation or career shifts.
Suzanne uses straightforward techniques to help people notice patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Sessions focus on practical steps and short-term strategies as well as looking at painful experiences when useful. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and solution-focused ideas to structure work and set clear goals.
Her approach is conversational and direct. She listens to what matters most and helps identify small, testable changes to try between sessions. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates trauma-focused strategies to address the impact of difficult events while pacing the work to what feels manageable.
Suzanne has worked in a range of settings and with private clients. Her practice includes support for people dealing with parenting strain, blended family issues, adoption and foster-care related concerns, and carer stress. She also offers help for mood disorders such as depression and bipolar symptoms alongside anxiety and anger management.

How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Clients can expect Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses. CBT breaks problems into clear parts - thoughts, feelings and actions - and offers step-by-step tasks to practise outside sessions. This approach suits anxiety, low mood, stress and many everyday problems.Client-Centred Therapy provides time to talk about what matters most while the counsellor reflects and clarifies. This helps people feel heard and better understand their own priorities. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the work to small, achievable goals and practical changes to try between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss options and agree on a plan together, taking into account the client's goals and what feels manageable. The collaboration helps decide whether to emphasise CBT techniques, trauma-focused methods, or more solution-focused steps.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing work with international clients, subject to the formats offered at the time of booking.
