Suzanne D'offay de Rieux, BACP

Suzanne D'offay de Rieux welcomes people who are exhausted by stress, grief, anxiety or relationship struggles. She introduces a calm presence and practical support for those wanting clearer direction. Suzanne uses straightforward conversation to help people find the next steps that feel right for them.

She has 18 years of professional experience and works from a mix of humanistic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas. Suzanne frames sessions around what a person needs now, whether that means short-term, solution-focused work or deeper, longer-term exploration. She emphasises the therapeutic relationship and treats each person with respect and acceptance.

Suzanne has supported people through addiction, bereavement, trauma and complex loss. Her background includes roles with Cruse Bereavement Care and work in a sexual assault referral centre. She also supported people in HMP Peterborough and brings practical understanding of those experiences to sessions.

She trained as a PSYCH-K(R) Facilitator and also works as a Strategic Intervention life coach. Suzanne blends these methods when helpful, especially when people want to change underlying beliefs or reconnect with a sense of purpose. Her practice has an international element, shaped by work in the UK, Switzerland and Italy.

Suzanne describes her approach as integrative and creative, grounded in neuroscience interests and mind–body–spirit connections. She aims to help people move from surviving to thriving and to live more authentically and with greater ease.

How Suzanne brings evidence-based work to online therapy

Her practice draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and person-centred, humanistic principles. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by teaching practical skills. Person-centred and humanistic work emphasises being heard and accepted, making space for people to make their own choices and build self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client test what helps and adjust as needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and support continuity when people live apart from their therapist. The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals offer online sessions in many practices, and Suzanne has been offering online therapy internationally since 2019.
