About Suzanne
Suzanne D'offay de Rieux offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction and other difficult life moments. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients find clearer direction and a steadier sense of self. Suzanne uses a blend of talking therapy and life coaching to help people make changes that matter to them.
She draws on 18 years of clinical experience and over 11 years in independent practice.
Background and approach
That background includes work with bereavement services and sexual assault support, and time supporting people in a prison setting. These roles shaped a steady, trauma-aware way of working. Suzanne offers short-term and longer-term work depending on what a person needs.
Sessions are tailored to the individual and focus on practical steps as well as exploring underlying patterns. She avoids labels and meets people where they are, treating their experience with respect. Her practice has an international dimension, with years working in the UK, Switzerland and Italy and online work offered since 2019.
English-language sessions are available to people in different countries. Suzanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Clients typically work on issues such as low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy struggles, bereavement, trauma and addiction.
She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges and bipolar mood management. The aim is clearer thinking, easier day-to-day coping and greater freedom to be oneself.

Online support
Humanistic and person-centred ways of working focus on listening and creating a respectful space where a person can explore identity, values and relationships. This approach helps with self-esteem, grief, relationship issues and the search for more authentic living.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process means approaches can be adapted over time as needs change.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy or geographically distant people. Video calls let the therapist and client see one another and do deeper conversational work. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and avoid being on camera. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, managing emotional moments between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. Overall, online formats make it simpler to access ongoing support from registered or accredited professionals without needing to travel.
