About Sue

Sue Lynes is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She specialises in stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She works in a person-centred way and uses attachment-based and solution-focused approaches where helpful.

Sue believes people have internal resources they can draw on. Sessions emphasise listening and practical steps. She encourages clients to speak about what matters and to test small changes between meetings.

Her background includes private practice and volunteer roles. She has worked with a charity supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse. She now volunteers with a neonatal bereavement charity, supporting parents through loss.

Those volunteer roles shaped her understanding of grief and trauma. They also influenced how she holds conversations about difficult experiences and strong emotions. In practice she combines calm listening with focused work on goals and relationship patterns.

Sue uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relational patterns and how early bonds affect current life. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the client's perspective central. Solution-Focused Therapy informs short-term goal setting and practical steps clients can try between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice how you relate, name repeated patterns, and try different ways of connecting with others. Client-Centred Therapy places the client's perspective at the centre of the work. In a session the counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to you, helping you find your own sense of direction. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small practical steps and measurable goals. It is useful when people want short-term change, clearer next steps, or tools to manage stress and sleeping issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sue will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods to prioritise based on needs, goals and preferences. That discussion can take place in the first few sessions so the plan can be adjusted as you go.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when life is busy and let people meet without needing to travel to a clinic. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to increase flexibility, but check the exact session types offered before you schedule.
