About Suzanne
Suzanne Grabowski is an ACA counsellor who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and life transitions. She often helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, family-related problems, and major changes that feel overwhelming. Suzanne writes in a straightforward, warm way and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Suzanne trained in counselling, community services and nursing, and combines those perspectives to treat both emotional and physical aspects of wellbeing.
How Suzanne works
She uses short-term and longer-term approaches depending on what a person needs at the time. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, steadier emotion regulation and small, manageable behaviour changes. Her style is down-to-earth and supportive.
People can expect to be listened to without judgement and offered choices about next steps. Suzanne draws on methods such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape each session. She also works with issues linked to attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and communication difficulties.
Suzanne can help people explore family of origin concerns, blended family tensions and challenges around fatherhood or parenting roles. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered via video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Suzanne has three years of professional experience and practises from Australia as an ACA counsellor.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions where values-based choices matter.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current behaviour. It can help with abandonment concerns, attachment issues and recurring relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. That makes therapy collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different life rhythms. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suit brief updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or caregiving duties while keeping regular contact with an appropriately qualified therapist.
