Suzie Pugh is a UK-based counsellor, CBT practitioner and psychotherapist with eight years of professional experience and more than 3000 hours of client contact. She combines clinical training with lived knowledge of relationship dynamics and emotional health to support people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, eating and body image concerns, addiction, and a wide range of relationship and family difficulties. Suzie also works with issues such as attachment wounds, inner child work, managing narcissistic relationships, obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, low self-esteem, and challenges around intimacy and parenting.

Alongside her clinical work she facilitates a fortnightly therapeutic support group for a mental health charity, supporting vulnerable people who are struggling with their emotional wellbeing. She is studying a Post-Grad Level 7 qualification in Attachment-Focused Psychotherapy, scheduled for completion in June 2026, and holds BACP as a professional credential - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counselling practitioners.

Suzie describes her approach as integrative and person-centred, tailoring each treatment plan to the individual and moving at a pace that feels right for the client. Her work emphasises empathic listening, collaborative planning, and practical tools to help clients gain clarity, build resilience and manage the challenges that brought them to therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns of relating and emotional responses. In practice this involves exploring attachment styles and relational wounds to help people understand how past experiences influence current difficulties - it is useful for relationship problems, intimacy issues and long-standing patterns of disconnection.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It uses practical strategies and skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, address compulsive behaviours and improve daily functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-directive, empathetic stance that prioritises the client’s perspective and pace. It supports self-exploration, builds self-esteem and helps people find their own solutions to challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Suzie works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays relevant to what’s happening in a client’s life.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from different locations and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these remote methods to deliver effective, ongoing treatment while tailoring the experience to each client’s comfort and practical needs.
