About Suzanne
Suzanne Grabowski is an ACA counsellor based in South Australia with three years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, blended family concerns, fatherhood issues and caregiving stress.
Suzanne uses a blend of approaches so sessions are practical and straightforward. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work. That mix is used to help people notice patterns, try small changes and set manageable goals.
Her background includes counselling, community services and nursing. That range informs how she links emotional and physical wellbeing during conversations. Sessions tend to look at what is happening now and what steps a person can try next.
Suzanne describes her manner as down-to-earth and supportive. Conversations are conversational rather than clinical, with space to voice worries and test out different ways of responding to everyday pressures at home.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches Suzanne uses online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions consistent with their values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to practical steps that improve daily life, which can help with anxiety and stress.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotions in close relationships and how those feelings shape interactions. It is useful for people who want to work on connection, communication patterns and responses tied to attachment concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and the problems they bring to sessions. That planning is practical and adjusted as needed rather than fixed from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Choosing online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and medical appointments. It also allows shorter check-ins on busy days or video chat when a longer conversation is helpful. Many people appreciate being able to schedule sessions without travel, but check available formats when arranging the first appointment.
