Sulette Snyman

Sulette Snyman is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has 21 years of professional experience. She works with people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and motivation difficulties. She also supports those wrestling with relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain and career uncertainty.

Sulette uses straightforward, conversation-based work. She listens to what matters and then helps people test practical ideas. That can mean looking at thinking patterns, trying different behaviours, or addressing painful memories depending on the issue.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods that place the person’s experience first, while also using cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and actions. She may include existential ideas when life purpose and meaning feel unclear, and she offers EMDR for trauma-related memories where appropriate.

Sessions are conducted in English and Afrikaans, and she accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Sulette aims for clear, practical steps rather than abstract talk. She supports people who feel uncertain about the next chapter, helping them explore options, manage strong emotions, and make small changes that fit everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sulette commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in sessions. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s experience and uses reflective listening to help people clarify what matters. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thinking patterns and behaviours and offers concrete experiments to test different ways of coping.

She may also use elements of existential therapy when life purpose or meaning is in question, helping people weigh values and practical choices. For trauma-related memories she offers EMDR as one possible method to process distressing experiences, used when it fits the client’s needs.

Finding which approach fits is part of the work. Sulette will discuss goals, preferences and situations with each person and together they decide what to try first. This collaborative process helps shape session focus and the techniques used.

The original profile does not specify session delivery methods, so please confirm the current online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to remote settings so they fit everyday life and practical constraints.
