Suzie Pugh, BACP

Suzie Pugh, BACP, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy worries, and issues with self-esteem or eating. She also supports those coping with trauma, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career shifts, bipolar and depression, and people living with ADHD. Suzie is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Suzie draws on eight years of professional practice and a strong interest in attachment and relationships. She focuses on making sessions feel straightforward and supportive. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings clearer and to build practical steps people can use between meetings.

Her work uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred principles guide the pace, so discussions follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when thoughts and behaviours are causing distress, and mindfulness tools help with grounding and stress management.

Sessions are shaped around the individual and their goals. Suzie adapts the plan as issues come up, and she prioritises listening with empathy and kindness. She also runs a fortnightly therapeutic support group for people who need extra emotional support through a mental health charity.

Therapy with Suzie typically includes practical tools and clearer ways to communicate, manage emotions, and cope with change. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How these approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships influence current patterns and helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships. It is often useful for intimacy, abandonment worries and attachment issues.

Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person’s pace and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, which can be especially helpful for low self-esteem and navigating life changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage obsessive thoughts, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try different ways of working until a good fit emerges. This is a collaborative process that adapts as needs and preferences change.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography did not list them. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and can make it simpler to attend during a work lunch or between appointments. Others prefer shorter check-ins when they need to manage a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally tailor sessions to make therapy workable alongside everyday life.
