Suzanne Chalmers

Suzanne Chalmers is a counsellor who uses person-focused care to help people move through hard times. She is registered with NCPS, and brings eight years of professional experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She aims to make the first step into therapy less daunting and more manageable.

Her style is calm and straightforward. She creates space for people to say what feels difficult without judgment. That can be the start of clearer thinking and gentler self-talk when life feels overwhelming.

Suzanne works with common problems such as coping with life changes, relationship worries, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing trauma, abuse, and mood-related difficulties, and addresses concerns linked to ADHD and obsessive thoughts.

Additional areas she attends to include body image, isolation and loneliness, immigration-related stress, and issues tied to multicultural identity. She also helps people dealing with divorce or separation, family tensions, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-aware. Suzanne draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify practical steps forward. That often means setting small, realistic goals and reviewing progress together.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgement. The counsellor listens closely, mirrors what is said, and helps people find their own answers to feelings like loneliness or low self-worth.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what clients want to achieve and breaks those aims into small, concrete steps. It can be useful for tackling specific problems such as panic attacks, coping with life changes, or improving daily routines that ease anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is often part of the first few sessions. Suzanne will work collaboratively to decide which methods feel like the best fit for your needs and goals, and she will adjust the plan as you progress.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy around busy days and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments during work breaks or when juggling caregiving.
