About Suzie

Suzie Pugh is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has eight years of professional experience in the UK. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body image concerns, addictions, low self-esteem, parenting strain and sleep problems. She also supports people facing trauma, bereavement, bipolar and depression, ADHD and other life changes.

Sessions are person-focused and paced to what the individual needs. She listens to practical problems and helps people identify steps they can try between meetings. Work can include exploring attachment patterns, addressing communication problems, and building coping strategies for anger, compulsive behaviours or grief.

Suzie draws on attachment-based approaches alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural methods. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with anxiety and disrupted sleep. These ways of working are used flexibly to respond to the issue presented and the person’s preferences.

She has experience facilitating therapeutic support groups at a mental health charity and has accumulated over 3,000 hours of client contact. Suzie is studying a Postgraduate Level 7 qualification in attachment-focused psychotherapy, due for completion in June 2026.

Practical matters such as booking are handled through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients who want to proceed complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session via the online options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections shape current reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to look at recurring communication problems, abandonment fears or issues with trust that affect adult relationships.

Client-centred counselling places the person’s concerns and choices at the centre. In sessions the counsellor listens, reflects and follows the agenda the client brings. This method suits people who want a less directive space to talk through parenting strain, stress or life changes.

Suzie will work with clients to identify which approach or combination fits best. That will be decided collaboratively, taking into account the person’s goals, the issues they bring and how they prefer to work. Adjustments can be made as the work progresses.

Confirm the exact session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, require less travel and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to attend from a quieter place or to choose audio-only when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to continue therapeutic work with people living further away.
