Suzie Pugh, BACP

Suzie Pugh is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. She also supports those dealing with eating and body image concerns, addictions, low self-esteem and sleep problems. Parents finding parenting stressful, people coping with major life changes, and those facing trauma or abuse often seek her support. Suzie works with people affected by bipolar, depression and ADHD too.

Suzie offers a calm, listening approach. Sessions focus on what the person brings and proceed at a pace they are comfortable with. She uses a blend of methods so the conversation fits each person rather than forcing a single technique.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. That mix allows practical ways to manage distressing thoughts and everyday habits alongside deeper work on relationship patterns and attachment wounds.

Suzie has eight years of experience and holds BACP accreditation. She also runs a fortnightly therapeutic support group for people with ongoing mental health needs, which adds to her day-to-day clinical insight.

People who start with her can expect sessions that aim to increase understanding, develop coping skills and improve everyday routines. She asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and supports change in how they relate to others.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offering empathy and acceptance so the person can explore issues at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits and offers practical strategies to change them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and habits that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose what feels most useful. This is treated as a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the original profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, reduce travel time and offer quicker access to support. Different formats can also suit different needs - for example, shorter check-ins can fit a lunch break, and audio-only conversations can reduce bandwidth or the need to be on camera.
