Susan "Sue" Small, BACP

Susan "Sue" Small is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has six years' experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports people facing relationship strain, changes at work, parenting pressures and the effects of trauma. Sue works in a straightforward, respectful way. She treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on what the client wants to change. Sessions aim to make small, practical steps that fit into everyday life rather than overwhelming plans. Her practice is neuro-affirming and includes work with people who have ADHD or autism. Sue can help with self-esteem, motivation and managing emotions such as anger. She also addresses concerns about addiction, eating and mood conditions such as bipolar. Sue uses client-centred methods that prioritise listening and building trust. She brings solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable goals. Trauma-focused techniques are used when past experiences are affecting daily life. People who prefer a calm, collaborative style may find her approach helpful. She encourages honesty and practical problem solving, and supports clients as they try out new ways of coping. The emphasis is on steady progress and on what matters most to the individual.

How Sue’s approaches can work online

Sue works with client-centred and solution-focused ideas alongside trauma-focused methods. Client-Centred Therapy means listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person says matters most; it helps when someone needs space to be heard and understood. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, practical steps and clear goals to move forward; it can help with stress, motivation and everyday problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses past experiences that continue to affect current mood and behaviour, and is used when those memories are getting in the way of daily life. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sue will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will agree a way forward together. That collaborative process makes it easier to try different ideas and see what helps most. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity when life is hectic. It can reduce travel time and allow check-ins that suit work or family schedules.
