About Suzie
BACP. 8 years' experience. Suzie Pugh works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, low self esteem, addictions and trauma and abuse. She also supports people with sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career worries, bipolar and depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
Suzie uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. Sessions aim to explore attachment patterns, improve communication, reduce unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. She also offers support around body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, and a range of personality and relationship difficulties.
She mentions experience running a fortnightly therapeutic support group for a mental health charity, working with vulnerable people who need emotional and mental health support. Suzie has completed more than eight years of professional practice and several thousand hours of client contact.
In conversation she keeps the focus on what the individual wants to work on and at what pace. Meetings start from what matters most to the person and can combine different methods as needed. This includes exploring early attachment wounds, practising mindfulness exercises, and using CBT techniques to manage symptoms.
Her working style places emphasis on listening, reflecting and offering practical tools people can use between sessions. Suzie is currently studying a Post-Graduate Level 7 masters-level qualification in attachment-focused psychotherapy, due for completion in June 2026.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and their effect on current relationships. Online counselling can use this to help people understand attachment styles, address abandonment or trust issues and improve emotional connections.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following what the person wants to explore. In remote sessions this often means the counsellor offers space for the client to set the agenda, with the counsellor responding to what comes up and helping the person clarify their own goals.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours. Delivered remotely, CBT can include short exercises, homework and step-by-step skill building to tackle anxiety, low mood and compulsive behaviours.
Finding the most helpful approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or medical appointments, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. They can also allow quieter check-ins that do not require being on camera, or shorter sessions to fit a break at work.
