About Suzanne
Suzanne D'offay de Rieux welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or worn down by life. She writes simply and directly to parents and individuals who need a steady, practical presence. Suzanne has 18 years of experience and works in English with clients across the UK and internationally.
Suzanne offers a calm and down-to-earth style that focuses on the person in front of her. She helps people talk through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, addictions and issues with self-esteem.
How Suzanne works
She also supports people with parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, ADHD and coping with major life changes. Her approach blends humanistic and person-centred values with cognitive behavioural ideas. That means Suzanne aims to listen first, and then work with clients to try new ways of thinking and behaving.
She describes her work as intuitive and integrative, tailoring sessions to each person rather than following a fixed script. Suzanne has worked in community bereavement services and in a prison setting, and has supported people affected by sexual assault and abuse. She has also run a independent practice in the UK, Switzerland and Italy, and has offered online therapy since 2019.
Her background gives practical experience with grief, trauma, addiction and complex loss. She holds BACP registration which appears on her credentials as BACP. Suzanne also practises as a PSYCH-K Facilitator and as a Strategic Intervention life coach.
Her work aims to help people move from surviving to living more authentically, with tools they can use day to day.

Online support options
Practical therapeutic approaches and online care
Humanistic and person-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and the therapeutic relationship. It helps people who need a compassionate space to make sense of difficult feelings and decide what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve daily functioning.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and life situation. She adapts sessions over time, checking in about what helps and what needs adjusting.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and people living abroad. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when it feels important. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Messaging and live chat provide ongoing connection and brief check-ins between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting around work, family and travel.
