Finding Support Through Grief, Anxiety & Life’s Challenges
Supporting adults through grief and loss, difficult experiences, anxiety, chronic pain, stress and major life transitions.
Life can change in ways we never expected. Loss, difficult experiences, changes in health or functioning, and major transitions can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward.
Suzannah offers a warm, compassionate and grounded space to work through what you are carrying. She has a particular interest in grief and loss and supports adults who are navigating bereavement, trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, burnout and significant changes in their lives.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to meet you where you are. Counselling may involve making sense of what has happened, understanding emotional and physical responses to stress, developing practical ways to cope, and gradually rebuilding confidence, connection and a sense of stability.
