In 2016 she studied to become a Supervisor in Psychotherapy , at Karolinska Instititet, Stockholm, Sweden.  

Theraplay was introduced in Sweden in the early 2000s, and Suzanne was lucky enough to be able to participate in the introduction course at Umea University in 2003, the Intermediate course at Umea University in 2008, and finally became a Certified Theraplay Practitioner in 2012.
