Suzanne Ellis, BACP

Suzanne Ellis offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and the practical strains of health challenges. She aims to make sessions feel simple and focused so clients can talk, breathe and work out next steps. Suzanne uses clear listening and steady guidance to help people find coping strategies that fit their life.

She draws on nearly two decades of clinical work and a Masters degree in counselling. Suzanne combines person-centred practice with Gestalt ideas and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, helping people process painful memories and reconnect with their needs. Sessions emphasise pacing at a comfortable speed and practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings.

Suzanne also offers supervision for counsellors and healthcare staff, underpinned by a level 6 certificate in therapeutic supervision. Her training includes an advanced diploma in Gestalt therapy and a diploma in person-centred counselling, and she is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, chronic pain, chronic illness and disability, grief, addiction, parenting strains, ADHD and body image. Suzanne pays attention to how past attachment and life events shape present emotional responses and coping patterns.

Sessions are delivered in English from the United Kingdom. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Suzanne draws on person-centred practice which focuses on listening, understanding and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for everyday stresses, life changes and coping with ongoing health challenges as it shapes sessions around the person's pace and priorities.

She also uses eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, EMDR, which helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. EMDR is commonly used for trauma-related problems and can help with intrusive memories, intense reactions and stuck patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will talk with each person about their current needs, goals and preferences, and decide together which methods to try. She aims to be flexible and to adjust the plan if something does not fit or feels unhelpful.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily routines, reduce travel time and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow sessions that focus on talking, grounding exercises and EMDR-style processing without requiring a clinic visit, depending on the agreed format.
