About Suzie

Suzie Pugh, BACP counsellor, has eight years of clinical experience working with adults across a wide range of concerns. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body image concerns, low self-esteem, addiction and mood difficulties including depression and bipolar. She also offers help for sleep problems, anger, career stress and life changes such as separation or divorce.

Suzie draws on several practical approaches in sessions. She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters to each person. She applies cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship histories and attachment wounds are central to the issue.

Sessions are organised around the client’s needs and pace. Conversations focus on what the client wants to work on and on simple skills they can use between meetings. Suzie also brings experience from running a fortnightly therapeutic support group at a mental health charity, which shapes her group and one-to-one practice.

Her work includes attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation, codependency and communication problems. She is completing a Postgraduate Level 7 qualification in attachment-focused psychotherapy, due in June 2026, and notes extensive client contact across her career.

Suzie works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People who need help with early-adult pressures such as starting work, relationship changes and feeling behind may find her approach relevant.

How her approaches translate to online work

Suzie mixes client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and attachment-informed methods. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and on shaping sessions around what the client wants to bring. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping steps for anxiety, low mood and intrusive thinking. Attachment-based ideas look at relational patterns and early relationship experiences to understand current difficulties with intimacy or communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and adjust methods over time so sessions fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether more CBT tasks, mindfulness practice or attachment-focused reflection is most helpful.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts or commuting, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows for different session rhythms - for example shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or camera-free conversations when someone does not wish to be on video. Registered or accredited professionals can then work with clients to find a practical pattern that suits everyday life.
