Suzanne Benfield

Hello, I'm Suzanne, an experienced and compassionate counsellor offering long and short term therapy.

Maybe there is a specific issue or issues that bought you here today or maybe you feel stuck in patterns of thoughts, feelings or behaviours that no longer serve you. Or you may not be clear about what led you here. I will work with you to discover what you want from therapy and together we will pursue your realistic and achievable goals.

I believe that a good therapeutic relationship is paramount to the work we will do together and influences the success of the therapy. I offer a caring, empathic and safe confidential space. I am non-judgmental, open minded and authentic. My approach is Transactional Analysis, which is flexible, adaptable and inclusive.

Having originally trained and qualified as a barrister I have a capacity to grasp and hold complex issues, boundaries and confidentiality. I have also worked as personal and lifestyle assistant to A-list celebrities and senior board level executives – this has given me an understanding of the corporate world and the arts.

I work in private practise, volunteer with a charity and work with NHS clients.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I offer an initial 20-30 minutes exploratory session on Zoom or by telephone. Please contact me to arrange a time. There is no charge for this first session.

This is an opportunity to have a conversation about what you are seeking to get from therapy, what issues you want to talk about and a chance to see who I am. If we agree we want to work together, we will decide on a time to meet each week.

I work online via Zoom and in person in Chiswick.
