Suzanne's private practice is founded on the value that everyone has a space to feel heard and understood. To meet someone where they need to be met, therapy that is based on the premise of transparency and an open curiosity to understand someone’s lived experience.

A little about me – A mum to three boys ranging from secondary school to primary school age and a busy husband also running his own business with lots of cycling on the side! I have come to realise that after so many lockdowns that I was not meant to be a teacher but have managed to create some fabulous playlists whilst I am walking and running around the block!

My background has involved over 16 years involved in community, hospital, and government settings. My work at the Suicide Helpline, counselling victims of crime and working with a range of families and couples in varying degrees of distress, breakdown and overwhelmed by anxiety. Still to this day working side by side with individuals and families, the courage and resilience to want to make sense of situations that can seem overwhelming, and wanting to make significant change, it is humbling to witness these breakthroughs.

I am a passionate educator for parents and adolescents. I facilitate the Tuning into Teens programme for school, councils and parents wanting to have greater understanding of their teenager.

I facilitate the Tuning into Teens and Tuning into Kids programs.

The programs focus on the emotional connection between parents/carers and children. The evidence- based programs have proven success in improving parenting, parent-child relationships and children’s emotional competence and behaviour.

Courses at present are conducted online and proven very successful.
