About Sue

Sue Lynes is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people find clearer ways forward. She creates a calm, compassionate space where clients can talk freely and work out what matters to them. Her style is gentle and practical, aimed at helping people build confidence and identify solutions that fit their life.

Sue has worked in both independent practice and voluntary roles. She has supported people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and currently volunteers with a neonatal bereavement charity.

Background and approach

These roles have given her direct experience of grief, trauma and the emotional challenges that follow loss. In sessions she listens closely and reflects what she hears to help clients notice patterns and options. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current responses and to improve emotional connection.

Solution-focused techniques help turn discussions into achievable next steps. Sue commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with addictions, trauma, intimacy issues, sleeping problems and anger.

Parenting is a named focus area, and she can help parents facing strain and difficult decisions. Her approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. Clients set the agenda and Sue adapts methods to match their goals.

She draws on six years of experience and her BACP registration while working with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Online support

How Sue's approaches work online

Sue uses person-centred counselling alongside attachment-based and solution-focused ideas to guide online work. Person-centred counselling gives space for people to talk and be heard, helping them to discover their own priorities and choices. Attachment-based thinking looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and can help with connection issues and emotional patterns.

Solution-focused techniques are practical and goal oriented. They help turn conversations into small, manageable steps that can be tried between sessions. Together these approaches mean the therapist can listen deeply while also helping to create clear next steps tailored to parenting and life pressures.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk through options, check what feels comfortable and adapt methods to fit each person's needs and goals. This collaborative planning helps make sessions relevant from the first meeting.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls recreate a face-to-face feel for longer discussions, while phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can be useful for brief updates, making therapy easier to fit around work, childcare and other commitments.
