Suzanne D'offay de Rieux offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction and other life challenges. She introduces herself simply as Suzi and focuses on helping clients reconnect with clarity, stability and a sense of direction. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, inviting honest conversation about what matters most to each person.

Suzanne brings 18 years of professional experience to her practice and holds BACP registration.

Background and approach

She describes her approach as intuitive and integrative, drawing on humanistic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas to shape sessions around each client’s needs. The work can be brief and solution-focused or longer term, depending on what a person wants to achieve. Her background includes roles with Cruse Bereavement Care and Rape Crisis, and several years supporting people in HMP Peterborough.

Those roles informed her work with complex bereavement, trauma and loss. She also developed an interest in the mind–body–spirit connection following a personal bereavement and subsequently trained in PSYCH-K®, which she uses alongside other therapeutic tools. Suzanne has practised in Cambridgeshire, Geneva and Como, and has over a decade of independent practice experience.

Since 2019 she has offered online therapy for people living in different countries. She describes her work as multicultural and inclusive, adapting to each person’s lived experience. Sessions aim to help people identify limiting beliefs, build coping skills and make practical changes.

Suzanne emphasises respect for personal choice and encourages clients to lead the pace and focus of therapy.

How Suzanne adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Evidence-based techniques Suzanne uses are drawn from humanistic and person-centred practice, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions, and cognitive behavioural approaches that look at patterns of thought and behaviour and teach practical coping skills. PSYCH-K® is also part of her work and aims to help shift limiting subconscious beliefs to support changes in feeling and behaviour.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Suzanne will talk with a client about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then suggest ways of working together. The approach can be adjusted as therapy progresses so it fits the person’s needs and pace.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These formats help people fit therapy around work, travel or family life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
