Suzie Bright, NCPS

Suzie Bright is a fully qualified counsellor, insured to practise in the United Kingdom and a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She trained in Transactional Analysis - a humanistic therapy that supports increased self-awareness, personal growth and lasting change - and often combines talk work with art and creative methods to help clients express and explore difficult feelings.

Suzie is also a member of the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO), reflecting her commitment to remote practice. She describes herself as a culturally sensitive practitioner, attentive to how oppression or discrimination related to race and ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or spirituality, socio-economic background and ability status can shape a person’s experience. Prospective clients are invited to ask about her familiarity with specific cultures and whether her approach aligns with their needs.

She works empathically and collaboratively with people experiencing low self-esteem, low confidence, relationship difficulties, loneliness, loss, anxiety and depression, supporting improvements in general wellbeing. Suzie helps clients who feel dissatisfied with life to explore who they really are and to live with greater authenticity. She offers support through grief, and when the time is right she helps people discover who they are now.

Suzie supports perfectionists and people pleasers to reduce self-criticism and build self-compassion, develop healthy boundaries and increase self-care. Reaching out for help is acknowledged as an act of courage, and she encourages messages to arrange a first counselling session or to ask questions. Current session times are listed on her profile and are correct as of 13.10.25, but are subject to change. Sessions may be in progress during listed times, and she will usually respond to messages within 24 hours during the week.

Approaches That Support Online Therapeutic Work

Transactional Analysis (TA) is central to Suzie's practice. TA is a humanistic approach that helps clients understand their patterns of thinking, feeling and relating, so they can increase self-awareness and make practical changes in relationships and daily life. This work is suited to issues like relationship difficulties, attachment and commitment concerns, and challenges with self-esteem.

She also invites creative and art-based methods into therapy to help people access emotions that can be difficult to put into words. Using drawing, collage or other creative exercises can provide new perspectives on grief, loneliness, perfectionism and life transitions while complementing conversational techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Suzie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adapt the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Suzie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for busy lives and those who cannot attend in person. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care across life changes, while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor the approach to each client.
