Hi, my name is Suzanne

Suzanne Milligan, psychotherapist and counsellor

I am a psychotherapist working online and in the Bega Valley. I offer therapeutic support for life's many challenges, assisting people through difficulties and confusion.  I bring my many years of Buddhist practice to this work, supporting my view that all of us have a deep healing ability and basic goodness.

 

I love helping people discover who they are. Like a snake shedding its skin, this can sometimes be a slow and uncomfortable process. I bring the perspective that change is a sign of growth and we all need support with this from time to time.


My framework for working with others is to explore the inner world and how old wounds and beliefs guide us in our daily lives--in our relationships, in our spiritual practices, and through times of grief. When we're not in touch with these more unconscious parts of ourselves, this can lead to results we don't always enjoy.

 

Together we will map out what happens inside and develop a therapeutic path that works for you. This includes discovering how much of what you carry is yours and how much is from those who have come before you. It is often important to step back and look at how your family and your culture plays a role in who you are today. We will look at ways you are surviving rather than thriving. We will establish a space to open up and explore whatever might be blocking growth and contentment; a place to get to know yourself, to have the time to slow down, to discover possibilities.

If you are interested or have any questions, feel free to get in touch and set up a brief introductory phone session.

Women 50+ in Transition

I specialize in guiding women 50+ through life's transitions using Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Whether you're facing grey divorce, loss, grief, empty nest syndrome, isolation, or contemplating your life's direction, I provide compassionate support. Together, we'll navigate these challenges, helping you find inner balance and renewed purpose.

Couples Therapy

There are times when help is needed for understanding our differences and needs in a relationship, before we get past the point for repair and forgiveness. Whether you have been together for 50 years or 3 months, looking at what we bring to relationships helps establish loving connections.

Internal Family Systems Therapy [IFS]

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a gentle and empowering approach to healing that sees your mind as made up of different "parts," like an inner critic or a protective voice. These parts often carry wounds from past experiences, and IFS helps you build a compassionate relationship with them. Through this process, you can uncover your calm and confident Self, bringing balance to your inner world. 

Transforming Trauma

Establish embodied self-awareness to start the path to healing old wounds, getting to know your own nervous system and empowering yourself on the way. This can be a slower process, as it is essential to establish safety and coping skills before uncovering old wounds or shocks to the system.

The mind is everything. What you think, you become.                                                                                                      Buddha
