Suzia Bolman

 I am accepting new clients  for online therapy sessions only.

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

I am an experienced and skilled therapist with a background in clinical psychology aiming to support you towards improving your wellbeing.

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 specific goal or willing to explore an area of your life, I can assist you with it, I do offer a safe space for reflection, where you can cultivate skills and develop coping strategies to improve your life - I am committed to treating everyone with respect, sensitivity  and compassion.

 Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, I am here to walk alongside you in this unique transformative journey.

Reach out with questions, I am happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.

Kindly feel free to contact me with questions by email or mobile phone. 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).

I am accepting new clients  for therapy sessions via video.

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.

I am a therapist with a background in clinical psychology, offering thoughtful and grounded support to individuals who want to better understand themselves and the challenges they are facing.

Coming from a multicultural background, having lived within different countries and having a wide range of life experience has shaped my open and curious approach to people’s stories and personal dilemmas. At the centre of my work are two values:

Compassion – approaching difficult experiences with empathy and understanding.

Equanimity – recognising that while life is often unpredictable, we can still develop awareness and choice in how we respond.

These values guide my work and help create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported as they reflect on their lives and move towards meaningful change.

How I Can Help

I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where we can explore what may be troubling you at your own pace.

In therapy we may work together to:

• Understand emotions, thoughts, and patterns of behaviour
  
• Reflect on past experiences and how they shape present relationships
  
• Work through trauma and disconnected aspects of yourself
  
• Navigate grief, loss, or experiences of abandonment
  
• Strengthen confidence, motivation, and a sense of direction
  
• Develop greater awareness and resilience in difficult moments
  

Sometimes talking is enough. At other times I may introduce gentle reflective or creative approaches that help express and integrate feelings that are difficult to put into words.

My practice is primarily person-centred, which means placing careful listening, empathy, and respect for each person’s experience at the heart of the therapeutic relationship.

Alongside this, I draw from psychodynamic and cognitive perspectives, adapting the work to the needs and preferences of each client.

As a long-term mindfulness practitioner, I also bring a gentle awareness of the connection between mind and body into sessions, helping clients notice and understand their internal experiences more fully.

Whether you come with a clear goal or simply a sense that something in your life needs attention, therapy can provide space for reflection, insight, and growth.

Experience

I have supported individuals from diverse backgrounds across a range of therapeutic settings in Scotland and London.

• grief and bereavement
