About Suzanne
Suzanne Grabowski is an ACA counsellor practising in South Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Suzanne also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and commitment problems, and related areas.
She trained in counselling, community services, and nursing, and brings those perspectives into sessions. Suzanne uses an integrative approach. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred methods to address emotional patterns and relationship dynamics.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Suzanne listens, helps name difficult emotions, and looks for patterns that keep stress or anxiety repeating. Practical tools from CBT and ACT are used alongside EFT-style work on emotions and attachment when that fits the concern.
Her background in nursing informs how she thinks about physical and emotional health together. That can be useful for people managing chronic illness, pain, or the stress of caregiving. Suzanne also supports people dealing with family of origin issues and blended family challenges.
People can expect clear steps in each session. Suzanne encourages small experiments between sessions, simple strategies for managing overwhelming feelings, and checking progress over time. To start, clients use the site matching process and schedule a first meeting.
How Suzanne uses EFT, ACT and attachment work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognising and naming emotions and how they shape close relationships. It helps people see how emotional responses connect to patterns that cause distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and choosing actions that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences influence current attachment patterns and trust in others.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Suzanne will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit the client’s goals, preferences and situation. Sessions can blend EFT for emotional processing with ACT or CBT techniques for practical coping and behaviour change.
The therapist’s profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also allows people to use quieter surroundings, choose whether to be on camera, and schedule sessions around work or caregiving commitments.
