Suzanne GrabowskiACA

Suzanne Grabowski is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and big life changes. She is warm and down-to-earth and aims to make conversations feel calm and practical for people under pressure. Suzanne is based in South Australia and writes in plain, steady language so clients know what to expect.

Suzanne trained in counselling, community services and nursing. That mix means she pays attention to both emotional and physical wellbeing when people talk about their health or life stress. She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, family problems and coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress.

Her approach draws on several well-known methods. Suzanne uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at relationship patterns and attachment, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to notice thinking and behaviour habits, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people find meaningful actions despite difficult feelings. She adapts these methods to each person's situation rather than following a fixed routine.

Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps. Clients can expect to talk about what matters to them, try small changes between sessions, and build skills for handling anxiety, commitment worries, or body image concerns. Suzanne aims to help people feel more confident in daily life.

With three years of experience as an ACA counsellor, she brings a collaborative style to sessions. People who prefer a straightforward, supportive therapist often find her approach helpful when navigating pregnancy, parenthood transitions and other life adjustments.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take small actions that reflect what matters most to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions where people want clearer direction despite uncomfortable emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that develop in close relationships and how those patterns affect current reactions. It can help people understand feelings of abandonment, attachment issues and how to change repeating relationship dynamics.

Suzanne sees finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and daily life, then suggest which methods might fit best. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they match individual needs and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. These practical benefits often help people maintain momentum between sessions while working through stress, anxiety or parenting transitions.
