Hello, my name is Suzanne and I am a psychotherapist and trainee counselling psychologist based in Devon.

I support people experiencing emotional and psychological difficulties during periods of significant life and health-related change. This can include anxiety, low mood, loss of confidence, feeling overwhelmed, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others.

I strongly believe that therapy is a collaborative relationship built on honesty, safety, and trust. I aim to offer a steady, supportive space where you can explore what you are going through at your own pace.

I have worked in mental health settings for over 7 years, including NHS services in older adults, perinatal mental health, and clinical health psychology. I have also worked in schools as part of a mental health support team, supporting children and families, including those who are adopted or looked after.

My approach is integrative and relational. I draw on attachment-based principles, including training in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), alongside CBT-informed strategies where helpful. This allows me to adapt the work to your individual needs, offering both reflective space and practical support where appropriate.

Alongside my clinical work, I am currently completing doctoral research in the area of menopause and psychological wellbeing, which informs my understanding of how health and hormonal changes can impact mental health and identity.

I offer a space where we can make sense of your experiences together in a way that feels manageable and meaningful for you

I am currently only able to offer online sessions.

I am happy to answer any enquiries by email or phone and offer an initial assessment at a reduced rate so that we can think together about what you are hoping to get out of the work and if I am the right person to support you.

I have previously worked with clients who are experiencing struggles with emotional upheaval, managing previous difficult or traumatic events and adjusting to challenges related to age or health.

I work using relational psychodynamic approaches but can integrate other approaches depending on the client need.

I offer an initial assessment session at a reduced rate.
