Suzanne Grabowski is a Level 3 Registered Counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), practising from South Australia and bringing together training in counselling, community services, and nursing. She adopts a holistic view that recognises how emotional and physical wellbeing interact, helping people address concerns that span mental health, relationships, and health-related challenges.

Suzanne offers a warm, supportive, and down-to-earth style, using an integrative, evidence-informed approach tailored to each person. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy, allowing flexibility to match interventions to individual needs and goals.

She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, family and relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Suzanne also works with specific concerns such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, body image and eating-related issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control challenges, commitment concerns, emptiness, and fatherhood and family-of-origin matters.

Suzanne aims to create an accepting, non-judgmental space where clients can explore challenges, build coping skills, and strengthen resilience, with the goal of improving balance and overall wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions by building psychological flexibility.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, helping partners and family members improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early attachment patterns influence current relationships and emotional reactions, supporting work on abandonment, attachment issues, and family-of-origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the process. Suzanne works with clients and licensed professionals to tailor methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility for people with busy lives, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and try different session styles to see what works best for each person.
