About Sulette
Counsellor Sulette Snyman is a member of NCPS and has 21 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem and motivation. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans, and she accepts international clients.
Sulette uses a range of approaches to suit different issues. She draws on client-centred work to make conversations practical and focused on what matters to the individual. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used where thought patterns and behaviour changes are helpful, for example with anxiety or low mood.
For trauma and distress linked to difficult memories she includes EMDR, alongside existential ideas about meaning and values when people feel stuck or question life direction. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients need support to build momentum or make changes. The mix is adjusted to the person rather than fixed from the start.
She has worked across many concerns over two decades, including relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Sulette also addresses adoption and foster care matters, attachment and abandonment, immigration-related stress, fertility worries, and ADHD-related challenges.
Practical planning is part of her sessions. That can mean setting small steps, reviewing coping strategies, or working on thinking styles. To begin, people use the site matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session through the online booking flow.
How Sulette applies therapy online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's perspective. In practice this means conversations that follow what matters most to the client and aim to clarify feelings and priorities. It can help with low mood, relationship concerns and issues of confidence.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical strategies and small behavioural steps to reduce anxiety or lift mood. EMDR is used for trauma to work with distressing memories and the reactions that follow them.
Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as they go.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel. The practical aim is to arrange sessions that fit daily life while using the approaches above to address the issues identified.
