Suzanne Ellis, BACP

Suzanne Ellis is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low or stuck. She works with grief, trauma, relationship difficulties and life changes. People come to her when sleep, appetite or motivation are affected and when stress or addictive behaviours are causing problems.

Suzanne uses straightforward talking therapy so people can make sense of painful feelings. She listens without judgement and helps clients find practical ways to cope. Sessions focus on helping someone feel heard and on building steps that make day-to-day life easier.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in counselling and a Diploma in Person-Centred counselling. She also holds an Advanced Diploma in Gestalt Therapy and has completed training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often abbreviated as EMDR.

Suzanne has 19 years of experience and is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also has a level 6 Certificate in therapeutic supervision and offers supervision to counsellors and healthcare professionals.

In sessions she helps people explore attachment and relationship patterns, manage anxiety and build self-esteem. She can work through grief, trauma memories and the emotional effects of chronic illness or caregiving stress. The aim is to help people find steadying ways to cope and clearer choices for moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can offer

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand why they respond strongly in relationships and find gentler ways of relating. Client-centred therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre of the work, with the counsellor offering acceptance and reflection so clients can make their own choices. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming and intrusive.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Suzanne will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about using EMDR, mindfulness practices or a person-centred focus are made together and revisited as the work moves on.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to continue work through illness, caregiving demands or relocation. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists and counsellors, can support this kind of flexible working so people can keep therapy going alongside everyday life.
