Sulette Snyman
Compassionate client-centred counselling and practical tools
About Sulette
Sulette Snyman works from a client-centred stance, offering a calm and respectful space where people can speak openly about what troubles them. She brings 21 years of professional experience in counselling and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to build confidence, reduce distress, and make everyday life feel more manageable.
She has particular experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and trauma and abuse. Depression, low self-esteem and motivation are also areas she addresses.
Background and approach
Sulette supports people navigating relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues and challenges around parenting and career changes. Sulette also works with more specific difficulties such as ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care, divorce and separation, and fertility and immigration issues.
She brings a broad view that connects life events to current patterns. Her approach combines client-centred listening with practical methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, existential reflection and motivational interviewing. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, where appropriate, for processing distressing memories.
Together these methods help people learn new ways to cope and make clearer choices. Sulette works in the United Kingdom and communicates in English and Afrikaans. She aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and compassion while tailoring therapy to each person’s goals and situation.

Approaches and online therapy options
Client-centred therapy is built around the person and their priorities. It involves careful listening and reflecting back what a person is saying so they can find their own solutions and grow confidence. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses simple strategies to change patterns that cause distress. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is a method used to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation.Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will trial methods and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s needs and daily life rather than applying a single fixed model.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people write between sessions or use brief messages during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and travel, and they let the therapist and client focus on what will help most.
