About Suzanne
Suzanne Grabowski is a Level 3 Registered Counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and has three years of professional experience. She is based in South Australia and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes.
Suzanne trained in counselling, community services and nursing. That mix means she notices links between physical health and emotional wellbeing. She draws on several practical therapies rather than a single method, and adapts conversations to what a person brings to a session.
Her sessions use clear, down-to-earth language. Suzanne combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people untangle painful feelings and shift unhelpful patterns. She also uses elements from motivational and solution-focused work when it fits the goals being set.
People often come to her with family of origin difficulties, attachment concerns, abandonment worries, body image or caregiver stress. Suzanne works with challenges such as chronic illness, eating and food-related issues, commitment or control problems, and the strain of blended family dynamics.
She aims to help people talk through what’s happening, practise new ways of responding, and build clearer goals for day-to-day life. Sessions keep to straightforward steps so progress can be tracked and adjusted as needed.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and decide what matters most to them. It uses simple exercises to build actions that match personal values and can help with anxiety, avoidance and moral shame. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns from early life and on how those patterns show up in current relationships. It is useful when guilt or shame relates to closeness, abandonment fears or family roles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will talk with the person about their goals, try methods that fit, and check in to see what helps. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted over time based on what is most useful.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. When formats are confirmed, Suzanne will suggest practical ways to structure sessions so therapy fits day-to-day life and the person's stated goals.
