About Suzanne
Suzanne Grabowski is an ACA counsellor based in South Australia with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self‑esteem, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and follow professional counselling practice in Australia.
Suzanne draws on several practical approaches to help people manage difficult feelings. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without acting on them and clarify what matters to them.
Attachment‑Based Therapy guides conversations about how early relationships affect current responses. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy supports people to recognise and name emotions so they can respond differently in stressful moments. Suzanne combines these methods with client‑centred listening to keep sessions grounded in what the person needs that week.
Her background includes counselling, community services and nursing, which she uses to consider both emotional and physical wellbeing. Sessions tend to be practical and focused, with tools and exercises to try between meetings. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps to reduce overwhelm.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first session through the usual online options. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How Suzanne uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Suzanne often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that increase worry or avoidance. CBT offers clear exercises and experiments to try between sessions, which can make social situations feel more manageable.She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. ACT can be useful for people who feel stuck by anxious thoughts and want practical ways to act despite them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss different methods and together they will decide what fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative selection can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It also means people can try techniques in everyday settings and bring feedback to the next session.
