Sue Lynes, BACP

Sue Lynes is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. She offers a calm, compassionate space where people can talk through what matters to them and find practical ways forward. Sue aims to help clients build confidence, see new perspectives and make changes that feel right for their lives.

She trained to Diploma Level 5 in Person-Centred Counselling and holds BACP registration. Sue draws on six years of practice in independent work and voluntary roles. This mix of settings has given her experience with grief, trauma and relationship challenges.

Sue has volunteered supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse. She also provides counselling for neonatal bereavement, helping parents process loss and its many emotions. Those roles informed how she listens and responds in sessions.

Her areas of focus include stress and anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma and abuse. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, sleeping problems and anger. Additional topics she works with include bereavement, communication and codependency issues.

In session, Sue uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She works at the client’s pace and draws on these approaches to match the person’s needs. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How Sue’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past connections shape current relationships and feelings. It helps people understand patterns of trust, closeness and separation and can be useful for intimacy and attachment concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on the person’s own experience. The counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection so people can find their own solutions and build self-trust.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, small steps that move a person towards their goals. It is goal-directed and can be helpful when someone wants specific changes in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as things progress.

Online therapy can make fitting counselling into everyday routines easier. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and help people join sessions from different locations or time zones. Because the biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm the available options before booking so you know what to expect.
