Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Suzanne directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and evidence-based approaches fit online
She commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, uncovering alternative ways to understand a problem. Narrative work often helps with identity questions, relationship patterns, and grief. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another frequent approach that encourages people to clarify their values and take small committed actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and ongoing life challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they identify practical steps, try approaches, and adjust as needed rather than relying on a single technique from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when audio is easier or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping sessions focused on goals and progress.
