Suzanne Ellis
Calm practical support for difficult change
About Suzanne
Suzanne Ellis offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low or stuck. She meets clients who are coping with grief, trauma, addiction, relationship worries, work stress or changes in life. Suzanne writes in plain language and aims to create a space where people can talk and feel heard.
She works in English and practises from the United Kingdom. Suzanne uses approaches that focus on understanding attachment, the person at the centre of therapy, and trauma processing.
Background and approach
She blends eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing with mindfulness and client-focused talking. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice patterns, process difficult memories, and build practical coping steps for everyday life. Her background includes a Masters degree in counselling, an Advanced Diploma in Gestalt therapy, and a Diploma in Person-Centred counselling.
Suzanne is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and she has a level 6 Certificate in therapeutic supervision. She also holds a certificate in telephone and online counselling and a qualification in couples and relationship counselling.
That training supports work with relationship concerns, intimacy questions and communication issues without assuming a particular method up front. Suzanne takes a gentle, paced approach. Early sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on building ways to manage strong feelings.
Over time she helps people practise new ways of coping, reduce anxiety, and regain a sense of direction.

How Suzanne's approaches translate to online therapy
Suzanne uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at how people connect, feel safe with others and react under stress, and it can help when relationship concerns or attachment issues cause anxiety or repeated difficulties.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, to address traumatic memories and strong emotional responses. EMDR works through structured phases that aim to reduce the intensity of painful memories and to build more balanced ways of thinking about past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Suzanne will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person's needs, goals and comfort level. Early sessions focus on what matters most and on planning practical next steps together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when that helps, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and messaging suits shorter updates or flexible timing. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
