About Suzanne
Suzanne Grabowski is an ACA counsellor practising in South Australia with three years' experience. She draws on counselling, community services and nursing studies to help people manage stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Suzanne commonly supports people facing major life changes and those working through attachment or abandonment worries.
Suzanne uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among other approaches. Sessions are conversational and practical. She focuses on helping clients notice patterns, try different responses and build day-to-day coping skills.
Her background in nursing informs how she links emotional concerns with physical health and chronic illness. That experience is used to discuss how symptoms, daily routines and medical needs interact with mood and stress. She also works with people managing caregiver strain and chronic pain challenges.
Suzanne often addresses relationship themes such as communication problems, blended family dynamics and fatherhood issues. She also helps with body image, eating and commitment worries, and problems rooted in family of origin or early attachment experiences.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and down-to-earth. Suzanne prefers clear goals and practical steps clients can try between meetings. People meet to talk through what feels hard now and to work out small changes that make daily life easier.
How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online sessions
This counsellor commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them and try actions aligned with those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication; it can help with abandonment, trust and family-origin issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That might mean combining ACT skills with attachment-focused conversations or using CBT-style exercises to test unhelpful thoughts. The plan can change as needs evolve.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around study, work or health appointments and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick progress update is useful. Talk with Suzanne when you match to confirm session length and how best to fit therapy into your routine.
