Suzanne Ellis offers calm, steady support for people facing loss, stress and major life changes. She works with people dealing with grief, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns. Her approach aims to help people talk through painful feelings and find practical ways to cope day to day.

She is also a certified EMDR therapist and has a level 6 Certificate in therapeutic supervision.

In sessions she offers a steady, non-judgemental presence and lets people set the pace. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual, with space to explore emotions, memories and practical coping strategies. She also supports people struggling with issues such as addiction, self-esteem, sleep and caregiving stress.

She has additional experience with attachment concerns, adoption and foster care, autism and ageing-related issues. Her background includes training in telephone and online counselling as well as couples and relationship work.

If someone is unsure where to begin she encourages a short initial step to see if the match feels right. Her aim is to create a place where people can be heard, process difficult experiences and make steady progress toward feeling more able to manage daily life.

How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems by looking at those patterns in a calm, consistent way. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening without judgement and helping clients find their own solutions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact by following a structured set of steps during sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Suzanne will discuss different methods and tailor what she uses to a person’s needs, goals and comfort level. This is a collaborative process where the client and counsellor agree on the best path forward.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins between in-person appointments. It can also be helpful when people prefer to speak from a familiar setting or need more flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals offering online counselling can adapt attachment, person-centred and EMDR-based work so it still focuses on processing emotions and building practical coping strategies.
