About Suzie

Suzie Pugh, BACP, helps people who are struggling with sleep problems alongside stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She supports issues such as low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts, eating and body image worries, addiction and the impact of past trauma. Suzie works in English and supports clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Suzie offers a calm, listening approach. Sessions focus on what the person wants to talk about and move at a pace that feels right. She uses ideas from attachment work and cognitive behavioural methods alongside client-centred listening and mindfulness practices to tailor support to each person.

In practice she helps people notice how past relationships affect current patterns and responses. She also offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, intrusive thoughts and sleep disruption. Sessions include talking, reflection and simple exercises to practise between meetings.

Suzie has eight years of professional experience and works with a mental health charity, where she facilitates a regular therapeutic support group for people facing emotional difficulties. Her background includes substantial client contact and ongoing postgraduate study in attachment-focused psychotherapy.

The first meetings focus on what you want to achieve and on building a working plan. Over time she adapts that plan to match changing needs, helping people gain clarity and tools to handle recurring problems. The aim is steady progress and more restful, manageable days.

How these approaches work for online sessions

Suzie draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when worry, sleep issues or relationship problems seem tied to past experiences. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small practical experiments that reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to calm the mind and to support slower, more settled evenings and nights.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods suit the person's goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative process means sessions can shift focus as new issues come up or progress is made.

The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use practical tools at home between sessions, such as sleep diaries, relaxation practices and thought records, which support the work started in conversation.
