Suzanne D'offay de Rieux

Suzanne D’offay de Rieux believes in the human capacity to thrive rather than merely survive, and in the right to be authentic without apology. She acknowledges the courage it takes to arrive at her profile and aims to provide a safe therapeutic environment where people can begin to make meaningful change.

If someone is experiencing anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, addiction, low self-esteem, work-related pressures or other challenging personal issues, she invites contact to arrange a first session. She is a highly experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor and life coach who works with a wide range of human conditions across different contexts, offering guidance, practical support and empowerment to help clients regain direction in their lives.

She is intuitive by nature and trained in Integrative Humanistic Person-Centred and Cognitive behavioural approaches, placing the client at the centre of the work, valuing the therapeutic relationship and the individual’s right to self-governance. She does not give advice, label people, or minimise human experience; instead she meets clients where they are with acceptance and compassion.

Suzanne is registered and accredited with BACP and EAC as a counsellor and psychotherapist, and she is a PSYCH-K® Facilitator with more than 14 years' experience in brief, solution-focused and long-term therapeutic work. Her specialisms include trauma resolution, addiction, anxiety, relationship issues, moderate to complex bereavements, and supporting expats and immigrants with second- and third-culture adaptation. She has worked for three years in the community and five years at HMP Peterborough with Cruse Bereavement Care, and spent four years supporting women affected by sexual assault and abuse at Rape Crisis (formerly SARC).

A personal bereavement in 2012 prompted a deeper interest in the mind-body-spirit connection and in neuroscience, leading her to attend a Hay House ‘I CAN DO IT’ event in New York City in 2013 and subsequently train in PSYCH-K, a rapid subconscious belief-change tool endorsed by cell biologist Dr Bruce Lipton Ph.D. She has eleven years of in-person private practice experience across Peterborough UK, Geneva Switzerland and Como Italy, and has provided multi-cultural, multi-disciplined therapy internationally online since 2019.

She regards it as a birthright to live a more joyful and fulfilling life and looks forward to connecting with clients to assist them toward their goals. She often sums up her work by saying: “I elevate others to the highest and truest expressions of themselves.”
