About Suzie

Suzie Pugh, BACP counsellor, has eight years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, self-esteem, addictions and broader mental health challenges. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

She works in a practical, structured way that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-focused ideas and client-centred listening. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and habits, trying small experiments, and building clearer patterns of communication. Expect a straightforward approach that emphasises actions you can use between meetings.

Suzie has a background supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, dissociation, and life changes such as divorce or bereavement. She also has experience with sleep difficulties, chronic pain and long-term illness, and supporting people with bipolar, ADHD and mood concerns. She facilitates a fortnightly therapeutic support group at a mental health charity as part of her wider work.

Her practice pays attention to attachment styles and inner-child patterns. That means looking at how early relationships affect current reactions, and using that understanding to change repeating cycles. She combines that with mindfulness exercises to help reduce reactivity and with CBT techniques to test unhelpful thoughts.

Sessions are client-focused and paced to what a person wants to address. Suzie uses the client's goals to shape practical steps and coping tools. People who prefer clear structure and homework-style tasks may find this approach helpful.

How CBT, attachment work and client‑centred therapy translate online

Online sessions can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts, moods and behaviours and then test changes with practical exercises. CBT works well for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful habits because it focuses on clear steps and short experiments.

Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current responses. Online conversations can bring these patterns into view and create alternatives for relationships and intimacy concerns. Client-centred therapy prioritises being listened to and building a collaborative plan, which helps people explain what matters and choose which changes to try.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try specific methods together. That means plans may include CBT tasks, mindfulness exercises, or exploring attachment themes based on what fits the person’s needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practical home-based exercises and makes attending from different locations possible, while the therapist and client decide together how often and how long sessions should be.
