About Suzie
Suzie Hazlehurst is a counsellor registered with the BACP with five years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem and motivation, and parenting pressures. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, sleep difficulties and addictive behaviours.
Suzie uses straightforward conversation and practical methods rather than jargon. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and feelings, and on identifying small changes that make daily life easier. She listens for what already helps a person and builds on those strengths.
Her background includes a mixture of short-term and longer-term work. That means she can offer focused plans for a specific issue, or slower-paced support for deeper problems. She uses tools from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships affect current ones.
In practical terms, Suzie helps people identify steps to improve communication, manage anger and stress, and increase emotional awareness. She also works with issues around adoption, fostering, blended-family situations, and caregiving for older relatives. Discussions often include setting realistic goals and checking progress together.
People who meet her can expect clear explanations of options and straightforward suggestions to try between sessions. The emphasis is on usable skills, increased clarity about choices, and building on what is already working in someone’s life.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand attachment needs and how those shape reactions in close relationships, which can be useful for intimacy and parenting concerns.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s agenda. It provides space to talk through problems, clarify priorities and decide on practical next steps together.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. It uses simple experiments and exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods based on a person’s goals, experiences and preferences. That means sessions can blend listening, reflection and short practical tasks agreed together.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises for online use so that therapy can fit into everyday life.
