About Suzanne
Suzanne D'offay de Rieux offers calm, practical support for people juggling parenting, relationships and life changes. She meets people who are anxious, grieving, struggling with addiction, or dealing with low self-esteem. Suzanne writes that she aims to help clients find clarity and more stability in daily life.
Suzanne is known professionally as Suzi and has 18 years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy. She is a BACP member. Much of her work has included bereavement support, work in a prison setting and four years at a Rape Crisis centre. She has also worked with people living abroad and those negotiating identity and adaptation across cultures.
Her stated approach is intuitive and integrative, drawing on Humanistic, Person-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural ideas. She describes the work as tailored to each person and places the relationship at the centre. Suzanne says she does not give advice or label people; she aims to meet clients where they are with acceptance and respect.
Suzanne also works with subconscious belief-change methods through PSYCH-K, and practises life coaching techniques alongside therapeutic work. She reports experience in both brief solution-focused work and longer term therapy. This mix is intended to suit different aims, from immediate coping to deeper change.
She has run private practice for over 11 years in the UK and overseas, and has offered online therapy internationally since 2019. Prospective clients are invited to start by using the site process to match with her and arrange an initial session.
How Suzanne blends approaches for online counselling
Suzanne combines familiar therapeutic ideas with coaching and subconscious belief work. Person-Centred work means she emphasises listening and acceptance, helping people feel heard and able to reflect on what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural ideas help by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. She also uses PSYCH-K, a method aimed at shifting limiting subconscious beliefs to support longer-term changes in how people respond to life. Suzanne describes using brief solution-focused coaching alongside therapy to meet short-term goals or practical problems. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne says she will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That could mean short-term coaching to tackle a specific issue, or a longer therapeutic plan that includes belief-change work and reflective sessions. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting and work commitments, reduce travel time and allow continuity when people relocate. It also lets clinicians and clients keep work-to-life arrangements consistent across countries.
