Suzia Bolman

I am taking new clients  only  for therapy via video. 

My work time hours is flexible. Kindly contact me for more information.

I am an experienced therapist and psychotherapist with a background in clinical psychology, offering a space where you can explore what is happening for you at your own pace. Together, you can begin to make sense of your experiences,  feel more grounded, understood, and able to respond to life’s challenges in a way that feels more aligned with who you are.

Being from multicultural roots and having lived in different countries, my substancial life experience has guided me to develop an open mind toward life, particularly when facing complex personal dilemmas guided by two core personal values:

• Compassion: using understanding and empathy to transform emotions and foster a more joyful life.
  
• Equanimity: recognising that while life is unpredictable but we can choose how we respond.
  

These two principles ground my work and help clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make choices aligned with their own compass.

How I Can Help

• Explore personal dilemmas and experience greater clarity and confidence
  
• Understand your emotions, thoughts, and behaviour patterns
  
• Reflect on past experiences and how they affect your present relationships
  
• Work through trauma and disconnected parts of yourself
  
• Navigate grief, loss, and feelings of abandonment
  
• Improve self-confidence, strengthen motivation
  
• Develop greater awareness and resilience in difficult moments

How do I work

I practice person-centred therapy, emphasising compassionate listening, empathy, and understanding. I also integrate cognitive and psychodynamic approaches adapting sessions to your unique needs. As a long-term mindfulness practitioner, I bring gentle body awareness to sessions, helping you notice, and understand your internal experiences more fully, and connect mind and body.

Whether you have a clear goal, want to explore areas of your life, or simply sense that something inside needs attention, therapy can provide space for self reflection. We work together to develop coping tools, insight, and self agency.

Experience

I have extensive experience supporting clients with diverse therapeutic needs in Scotland and London across a range of settings. This includes long-term and short-term therapy, more generic to more specific counselling therapy services, supporting individuals with a wide range of personal and emotional difficulties:

Rape Crisis: working with survivors of sexual violence

Cruse Bereavement: supporting people through grief and loss

Mind: providing short-term therapy for NHS patients

Hospital setting: offering brief therapy for individuals living with chronic illness

Testimonials

"Suzia, I would like to say thank you, I feel like I am now in a place, that I’d never thought possible. I realise I am a survivor and not a victim. I feel as though a weight that I have been carrying for more than 19 years has been lifted off of me". S.T.

"Suzia helped me to understand a lot about myself, mainly in things I didn’t know I need help with, I’m so grateful that I was given this opportunity with her."A.B.

My work is grounded in the belief that resilience and strength exist within each person, and I honour the healing power they bring when facing adversity. Therapy can help you connect and strengthen these inner resources, promoting growth and stronger sense of self- agency.

Beginning therapy often requires courage. If you are considering it, you are welcome to get in touch with questions. We can discuss what you are looking for and whether working together might be helpful.

 I do offer a 20m initial free consultation.

Note that I may not be able to respond immediately to your call or email , but leave a phone msg and I will get back to you within 24hours (you can add you preferred time to be contacted).

You might have a sense that something in your life isn’t quite right, even if it’s difficult to put into words. Perhaps you notice yourself returning to similar emotional patterns, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, or experiencing an inner tension between different parts of yourself about what to do or how to move forward.

I am from a multicultural background with a substantial life experience. This has guided me to develop an open mind towards life in general and to personal dilemmas in particular, with two key personal values at the centre:

• compassion, as a powerful tool to transmute emotion and to create a more joyful life.
• equanimity, the awareness that I cannot control life unpredictability but I can control /choose the way I respond to it

How can I help:

• by listening without judgement and valuing the unique human being that you are
•  to investigate and understand emotions and behaviour patterns
•  to reflect on earlier interactions and how they affect your present relationships
•  to work with trauma and disconnected parts of yourself
• to help you navigate the complex process of grief, loss and abandonment
•  to explore who you are, improving your self confidence and motivation toward life in general.
•  I offer creative ways to express difficult feelings and experiences as a way of processing and integrate them.

My counselling approach is person-centred, emphasising deep listening and empathy as core conditions for healing. In addition I also incorporate cognitive and psychodynamic psychological models to effectively meet the individual needs of my clients. As a long-term mindfulness practitioner, I invite a gentle, somatic and compassionate awareness into therapy sessions to connect and integrate the body and mind. 

I have extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds in various settings. This includes Scotland and London.

I offered long term therapy sessions in a generic counselling service and I worked short term therapy providing support to more specific clients areas, such as survivors of sexual abuse at Rape Crisis and people affected by loss and grief at Cruse Bereavement. At Mind I offered short term therapy to NHS patients.

I have been providing effective therapy sessions assisting clients experiencing symptoms, among others, of depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, bereavement, motivation and self-esteem. Within the Hospital setting, I delivered short term therapy to patients diagnosed with chronic disease. Additionally, I support clients in coping with life changes, acknowledging the healing power of resilience and strength in the face of adversity.

Whether you have a clear goal, want to explore areas of your life, or simply sense that something inside needs attention, therapy can provide space for self reflection. We work together to develop coping tools, insight, and self -agency.

 I am committed to treating everyone with respect, sensitivity  and compassion.
