Who Is Suzie?
I’m a Relate-trained counsellor, an accredited parenting educator, an agony aunt with over 15 years experience of working on UK national magazines (including eight years as agony aunt of Women’s Own), newspapers, television, radio and online and the author of twenty six books – the two most recent being Teach Yourself Step-parenting and Teach Yourself Single Parenting. I was the counsellor in ‘Stepfamilies’, a major BBC1 series, helping people sort their way through the difficulties of bringing new families together.
Fed up with losing in love, angry with a partner, in despair because family, friends and life itself seems to let you down?
Whether and whenever you feel powerless and overwhelmed or just curious and in need of a boost, this could be the place to come.
You’ll find ideas to make an OK time even better and answers to many of your questions about sex, your body or how to make yourself understood. I can’t promise to wave a magic wand and provide the fix for everything in your life - nobody can do that for you. What I can do is use my professional expertise to offer some ideas, suggestions and support so that you will be confident enough to find what works for you.
I’ve got solutions, but it’s you who can make them work!
