About Sue
Sue Culm is a Glasgow-based counsellor with four years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with people who want clearer thinking and more reliable coping skills. Sue aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward.
She uses practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build steadier emotional responses. Sessions focus on simple, repeatable steps clients can practise between meetings.
Background and approach
Sue also draws on mindfulness and motivational approaches to help people notice what matters and keep moving towards it. Sue has worked in the third sector, supporting people living with chronic anxiety, trauma linked to sexual violence, childhood trauma, and persistent low mood. That background shapes a non-judgemental, person-focused style that treats each concern on its own terms.
She pays attention to how life events and relationships affect everyday thinking and behaviour. Typical areas she addresses include depression, self-esteem, eating and body image concerns, and difficulties around intimacy and relationships. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, attachment, codependency and communication problems.
Work is tailored to the individual rather than following a single fixed method. Sue encourages clients to learn skills that increase resilience and independence. Sessions aim to leave people with clear strategies they can use after therapy ends.
Practical goal-setting and regular review help make progress visible and steady.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will discuss options with each client and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches to match what the person wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen materials for worksheets, phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits people who prefer typed dialogue, and messaging is useful for shorter check-ins and flexible scheduling. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
