About Suzanne
Suzanne Ellis offers a calm, steady presence for people struggling with sleep, stress, anxiety and life changes. She aims to make the first step simple and reassuring, so conversations focus on what feels most urgent to the person in front of her. Suzanne holds the BACP credential and draws on nearly two decades of practice to guide people as they talk through painful feelings and practical problems.
Suzanne works in a person-centred way that encourages people to lead the pace and direction of sessions. She also uses EMDR alongside mindfulness and trauma-focused methods to help process difficult memories and reduce overwhelming reactions. Sessions are a place to name what’s going on, try new ways of coping, and practise calming strategies that can help with sleep and stress.
Her background includes a Masters degree in counselling and a diploma in person-centred work, together with additional training in Gestalt approaches and EMDR. Suzanne also holds a level 6 certificate in therapeutic supervision and offers supervision to counsellors and healthcare staff. She is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Suzanne can help people who are dealing with grief, loss, relationship pain, addiction issues, sleep difficulties and a broad range of trauma-related concerns. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people feel heard and able to explore change at their own speed.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to make initial contact and then sessions are scheduled according to availability. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online therapy
Suzanne uses person-centred work that focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. This approach helps people speak openly about sleep problems, stress and daily pressures while building practical steps to improve rest and coping.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process painful memories that can interfere with sleep and wellbeing. EMDR sessions aim to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the reactions they trigger. Mindfulness therapy is offered to teach simple grounding and breathing practices to lower arousal and support better rest.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will talk through options and try methods that suit the person's history, goals and comfort level. Decisions about which methods to use are reviewed together as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. For some people, video helps the therapist and client keep visual contact, while audio-only sessions may be better when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work well across different remote formats.
