About Sue
Sue Lynes is a counsellor registered with the BACP with six years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, plus grief, depression, addictions and trauma and abuse. She also offers support for intimacy and sleeping problems and related issues such as anger and parenting.
Sue uses person-centred ways of working that focus on giving people time to talk and be heard. She helps clients notice new perspectives and build confidence. The aim is to find practical steps that feel right for the individual rather than forcing a specific method.
Her background includes private practice and volunteer counselling with charities. She has supported people affected by sexual and domestic abuse. She currently volunteers with a neonatal bereavement charity, helping parents process loss after the death of a baby.
Those roles have influenced the way she listens and responds in sessions. She is used to working with grief and trauma and focuses on practical ways to cope with strong emotions. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the person sitting in the room.
Sue often draws on attachment ideas to help people understand relationship patterns. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and client-centred principles to keep the focus on the client's priorities. This mix is intended to support people as they work through specific problems and everyday stresses.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Sue uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships. This approach helps when people want to understand why they feel anxious around others or repeat the same interaction styles. It focuses on noticing how past connections shape present reactions.She also practises client-centred counselling, which means conversations stay focused on what matters to the client. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client's priorities rather than directing the session. Solution-focused techniques are used to agree on small, practical goals and review progress over a few sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. Sue will work with the client to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods based on responses and preferences. That way the approach can change if a different way of working looks more useful.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible for people living abroad to connect with registered or accredited professionals in the United Kingdom.
