Sue Lynes, BACP

Sue Lynes is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She believes people have inner strength and capacity to grow, and she offers a compassionate, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters. Sue aims to help people build confidence, see new perspectives and find practical ways forward.

Sue holds an Advanced Diploma Level 5 in Person-Centred Counselling. She has six years of experience in private practice and volunteering roles. Her volunteer work has included supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and offering bereavement counselling to parents after neonatal loss.

Those experiences have shaped how she works with grief, trauma and relationship pain. In sessions she focuses on listening carefully and helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She then supports small, achievable steps to change those patterns.

Sue offers support for concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and sleeping problems. She also helps people facing family and relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, and intimacy-related issues.

Her practice also includes additional focus areas like abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, cancer-related challenges, and bereavement. Sue brings a calm, steady presence and aims to work at a pace that suits each person.

How Sue's approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how people relate to others and to themselves. It looks at patterns born from past relationships and helps people notice and change those patterns, which can help with relationship stress and attachment worries.

Client-centred counselling puts the person at the heart of the session. The therapist listens deeply, follows the person's pace, and supports them to find their own answers. This approach is often useful for low mood, anxiety and grief because it allows feelings to be explored without pressure.

Solution-focused ideas concentrate on small, practical steps that make a difference now. These techniques help people set clear goals and try manageable actions between sessions to build momentum and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will collaborate with each person to decide which mix of attachment, person-centred and solution-focused methods best suits their needs and goals. This is decided together and can change as the work progresses.

Check the available session options before booking, as specific formats are arranged through the therapist. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a familiar setting or who need to balance appointments with caregiving or work commitments.
