Suzie Pugh
Compassionate, practical therapy for everyday struggles
About Suzie
Suzie Pugh helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD and a wide range of life challenges. She also supports those coping with eating and body image issues, addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain and career questions. Suzie works with adults who want clearer thinking and steadier emotions.
Suzie uses practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating.
Background and approach
She offers tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and for calming the body when anxiety or anger flare up. Her approach draws on attachment work and cognitive behavioural ideas, plus client-centred listening and simple mindfulness practice. This mix lets her adapt plans to what each person needs and how they prefer to work.
Sessions focus on small, manageable steps clients can use between meetings. Suzie holds BACP accreditation, and she has eight years of professional experience. She also runs a fortnightly therapeutic support group for vulnerable people via a mental health charity.
This keeps her practice connected to community need. In sessions she pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, and she offers practical exercises for changing those patterns. She helps people recover a sense of agency after difficult relationships or experiences.
The pace and content are set by each client so work only proceeds at a comfortable speed. People who choose to work with Suzie can expect a calm, non-judgemental space and clear, action-focused ideas to try between meetings. She will work with clients to build skills that fit day-to-day life and support longer-term change.

Sessions & fees
How Suzie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation to notice these patterns and try small changes that improve connection and trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. In remote sessions this often means setting short practical tasks between meetings and reviewing what worked. Client-centred counselling offers empathic listening and a calm, non-judgemental space where the client leads the topics and pace of therapy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as the work proceeds so it fits the person’s needs and daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, simple coaching, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
