   About Sulette

   Sulette Snyman is a counsellor using a client-centred approach and Motivational Interviewing to help people make meaningful change. She holds NCPS and brings 21 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her way of working is calm and respectful, aimed at helping someone feel heard and able to take the next step.

   She supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and those coping after trauma or abuse. Sulette also helps with confidence and self‑esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues that affect daily life like sleep, eating and parenting pressures. She works with clients on career questions, life changes and finding purpose too.

   Sulette uses practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside talking in a way that centres each person’s own goals. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people build readiness and keep moving forward when change feels hard. For deeper trauma memories she may use Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing as part of a plan that respects each person’s pace.

   Her sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people try small, testable steps between meetings. The focus is on what matters to the client and on realistic goals that fit everyday life.

   She offers therapy in English and Afrikaans and works with people from different countries. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair a person with the right therapist and schedule sessions according to availability.

2. How therapy methods and online working fit together

   Sulette commonly combines Motivational Interviewing and Client‑Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people move forward. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s own reasons for change and strengthening their motivation. Client‑Centred Therapy gives space for someone to be listened to and understood without pressure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.
   
   Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they will try approaches that suit the person and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
   
   Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed. It can also let someone have sessions while living in another country, and the therapist will discuss how to make the approach work practically for the client’s situation.
