Suzannah Chick

Please note I mainly work online via Zoom. 

I will be opening a limited number of sessions for in-person therapy in and around the Guildford area of Surrey.

Please see my website for current availability. 

Thanks so much for visiting my page. My name is Suzie and I am a qualified therapist, and registered member of BACP, with over a decade of experience.

I have a special interest and expertise in burnout, having not only suffered with it myself in the past but also having worked with many clients helping them recover to live a more balanced and meaningful life. 

I’ve also worked successfully with a wide range of issues including anxiety, divorce, depression, narcissistic parenting and childhood sexual abuse (to name but a few). 

A little about me...after graduating from university in London, I trained as an accountant, later specialising in Forensic work with one of the Big Four firms. After 10 years of working hard in the City, I experienced the inevitable burnout. Through this process, a breakdown resulted in a breakthrough. I decided the corporate career ladder wasn't for me and to head in a different direction. 

I've always been fascinated about why we do/say/feel/think the things we do and I wanted to help others like I had been helped when I was struggling. And so I went back to school and graduated as a qualified psychotherapist and a registered member of BACP and UKCP six years later. And the rest as they say is history!

I work organically with every client, developing my ways of working around the needs of every individual client. This is your space and first and foremost you decide what to explore. As your therapist I will act as a guide, using my wealth of experience, skills and theoretical knowledge to help us navigate through the process. 

Following your agreement, I will conduct a review of the work on session 6 which will help structure and direct the therapy going forwards. 

Through our work together, you can have the much needed space to reflect and process where you are in your life, how you got there and importantly where you may want to go next. 

Once you’ve made contact with me, we’ll either arrange an initial session or maybe have a brief telephone call to start with. Some clients prefer to have a call as a way to touch base with me without the commitment of attending a face to face session. The call is free and you are under no obligation to proceed with therapy.

In our first session, we’ll assess what issues are going on for you (e.g. relationships, family, health etc) and I’ll gather some basic contact information too. At the end of this first session, we’ll agree a way forward and cover any questions you may have.

After that we’ll meet every week for your sessions (with regular reviews along the way, the first one being on your sixth session).
