About Suzanne
Suzanne D'offay de Rieux is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with 18 years of experience. She works with common and complex struggles such as anxiety, grief, relationship tensions, addictions, low self-esteem, and anger. Sessions are presented as practical conversations aimed at helping people regain clarity and direction.
Suzanne uses a mix of humanistic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas. She describes her style as intuitive and integrative, and aims to centre the person rather than give labels or advice. The work can be brief and solution-focused or longer term, depending on what someone needs.
She has specialist experience in trauma resolution with attention to the nervous system, and in supporting people through moderate to complex bereavement. Her background includes several years with bereavement services and work in a prison setting, plus roles supporting people affected by sexual assault and abuse.
Suzanne also trained as a PSYCH-K Facilitator and as a Strategic Intervention life coach, and she uses tools that address subconscious beliefs alongside talking therapy. She has over a decade in private practice across the UK and Europe, and has offered online work internationally since 2019.
Her approach is direct but respectful. Suzanne focuses on helping people make sense of their responses, reduce patterns that cause harm, and find practical ways to manage anger and stress in day-to-day life.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Suzanne combines humanistic and person-centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural ideas. Person-centred work focuses on understanding a person’s experience and priorities and supports clearer self-reflection. Cognitive behavioural tools look at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offer practical steps to try when anger, anxiety or low mood are getting in the way.She also uses PSYCH-K approaches to address subconscious beliefs that may keep old patterns in place. That work aims to shift limiting beliefs so people can try new responses to familiar triggers. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process between therapist and client, based on the issue, personal preferences and how someone responds in early sessions.
Online work has helped her offer therapy across countries since 2019. Check the current session options before booking so you know the formats available. The main practical benefits are convenience and fitting sessions around everyday life - for example shorter check-ins that suit a work break, or sessions without needing travel time. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing to suit an online appointment, helping people practise new ways of handling anger in real time.
