Suzanne D'offay de Rieux
Experienced counsellor supporting life change
About Suzanne
Suzanne D'offay de Rieux offers warm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship pain, addiction, low self-esteem and life changes. She introduces herself as Suzi and speaks plainly about helping people find clarity and direction. Her style is respectful and non-judgemental, aiming to help people reconnect with what matters to them.
With 18 years of experience, Suzi blends several practical approaches to meet individual needs. She works with people across cultures and has supported those navigating loss, trauma, identity questions and major life transitions.
Background and approach
Much of her background includes bereavement work and helping people who have experienced sexual assault and abuse. Sessions are described as tailored and creatively rich. The focus is on understanding your situation, noticing unhelpful patterns, and trying out new ways of responding.
She does not give advice or label people; instead she meets each person where they are and supports them to make their own choices. Suzi has over 11 years of independent practice experience in the UK, Switzerland and Italy. She has also provided online therapy internationally since 2019.
Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, is noted and underpins her professional work. Clients can expect a compassionate, collaborative process that honours different beliefs and backgrounds. Suzi aims to help people move from surviving to thriving by working with thoughts, emotions and the practical realities of daily life.

How therapeutic approaches meet online care
Two notable approaches she uses are person-centred work and cognitive-behavioural techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening deeply, validating experience and helping people find their own solutions. It suits anyone who wants a respectful space to explore feelings and values. Cognitive-behavioural techniques look at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduce practical steps to change unhelpful habits. These techniques can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing difficult reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explore your needs, goals and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit. This is a collaborative process where methods are adapted over time if something is not helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls let you have fuller conversations with visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suit quick updates and ongoing support between sessions. For many people these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
