About Suzanne
Suzanne D'offay de Rieux welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She focuses on practical help for common life struggles such as anxiety, grief, relationship worries, addiction, low self-esteem and sleeping problems. Suzanne writes in plain, direct ways and aims to make early contact straightforward for someone worried and tired.
She brings 18 years of practice to her work and holds BACP, which appears on her professional record. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Conversations aim to build clarity and calm so people can make choices that feel right for them.
Suzanne uses an intuitive, integrative approach drawing on humanistic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas. She adapts sessions to the individual and mixes brief, solution-focused work with longer-term therapy when needed. The focus is on understanding patterns, trying practical changes, and tracking progress.
Her background includes several years supporting bereavement services and work within a prison setting, plus experience with sexual assault support. She has also worked internationally in private practice across Europe and has offered online therapy since 2019. This range of settings informs how she supports people through complex loss and trauma.
Sessions emphasise respect for each person’s beliefs and life story. Suzanne aims to help people reconnect with their priorities, restore better sleep and day-to-day rhythms, and regain a clearer sense of direction.
How Suzanne integrates approaches for online work
Online sessions draw on a mix of humanistic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas. Humanistic and person-centred ways emphasise listening closely and accepting your experience, giving space to talk through what matters most. This helps when people need understanding and emotional holding during grief or identity shifts.Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts or routines and testing small changes. These techniques are practical and suit worries such as anxiety, sleep problems and low mood where changing day-to-day habits can bring quick benefits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will explore your needs, goals and preferences with you and together decide which methods to use. She adapts the blend of listening, practical steps and longer-term reflection as you progress, keeping the plan flexible and collaborative.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and avoiding travel. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments while living abroad or moving between countries.
