About Sue

Sue Lynes, BACP, is a person-centred counsellor who emphasises compassionate, non-judgemental support. She invites people to talk openly about what matters to them and helps them find clearer perspectives. Her work focuses on practical steps that build confidence and promote change rather than labels or quick fixes.

She uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That helps when people find themselves stuck in repeated conflicts or struggling with anger, intimacy or trust. Sue also brings solution-focused techniques to sessions, helping people identify small, achievable steps to feel better.

Sue has worked in private practice and volunteered with charities supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse. She currently volunteers with a neonatal bereavement charity, supporting parents through grief. These roles have shaped her understanding of trauma, loss and the everyday impact of difficult experiences.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Sue has six years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Conversations typically look at patterns, practical options and what a client wants to try between sessions. People contact Sue when they are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addiction, sleep problems, parenting pressures and anger.

How Sue's approaches translate to online counselling

Sue combines person-centred practice with attachment-aware thinking and solution-focused ideas to guide online work. Person-centred or client-centred counselling means the therapist listens without judgement and follows the pace the client sets, which suits people who need space to find their own answers. Attachment-informed work looks at how early bonds affect current patterns, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, trust issues and anger. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and goals, helping when someone wants quick, manageable changes rather than long-term analysis.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sue aims to collaborate with each person to decide which ideas to use and how to blend them, based on needs, goals and personal preference. That means sessions can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing sessions around work or family commitments. It can also support steady follow-up, short check-ins or goal-focused work that fits into everyday routines without requiring long disruptions.
