About Sue

Sue Lynes is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' practice. She offers person-centred work that focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, addiction and anger. Sue supports people who are dealing with sleep problems, intimacy concerns and parenting strains as well as linked issues such as trauma and bereavement.

Sue uses a counselling style drawn from person-centred principles and solution-focused ideas. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build on what already works. Conversations are straightforward and practical, with space to talk through feelings and decide next steps together.

Her background includes private practice and volunteer roles. She has worked with people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and currently volunteers with a neonatal bereavement charity. These roles have given experience of grief, trauma and difficult life transitions.

In session she pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that can fuel anger, control problems or codependency. She also supports people facing health-related stress such as cancer or caregiver strain. The focus is on manageable steps to reduce tension and improve communication.

Sue describes her approach as collaborative and goal-oriented. She uses the client-centred stance to understand what matters most, and solution-focused techniques to set practical targets. People considering work with her are asked to use the booking process to outline their main concerns before the first session.

How sessions work

How Sue's approaches translate to online sessions

Sue works from person-centred principles and solution-focused techniques. Person-centred counselling means the therapist listens without judgment and follows what matters to the client, which helps when dealing with anger, grief or relationship strain. Solution-focused work aims for small, practical changes - setting clear next steps and checking progress over time.

Attachment-based ideas are also used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and communication. That can be useful for understanding recurring anger, control issues or commitment worries. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process and Sue will discuss what seems most helpful based on your goals and preferences.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep therapy going while they move or travel. Registered and accredited professionals will talk through practical arrangements so sessions fit into everyday life.
