About Sue
Sue Lynes is a counsellor who uses person-centred, attachment-based and solution-focused ideas to help people facing difficult times. She offers a calm, compassionate space where people can talk honestly about what they are feeling. Sue aims to help clients find clearer perspectives and build confidence so they can make changes that feel right for them.
She holds an Advanced Diploma Level 5 in Person-Centred Counselling, and she describes counselling as a collaborative process.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on the person in front of her, not a checklist, and she listens without judgement while gently guiding practical steps forward. Sue has six years of experience in both independent practice and voluntary work. Her voluntary roles included supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and providing neonatal bereavement counselling for grieving parents.
These roles have given her direct experience with trauma and loss. Her work often helps with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, sleep difficulties and parenting strain.
Sue pays attention to attachment issues, communication problems and the effects of past abuse on current relationships. In sessions she uses short-term solution-focused techniques alongside longer conversations that explore feelings and relationships. The result is a practical but warm approach that helps people find manageable steps forward.
Sue offers sessions in English to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Approaches Sue lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Client-centred counselling focuses on empathetic listening and helping a person find their own answers. In practice this means the counsellor reflects feelings, asks gentle questions and supports the person's pace of change, which can suit people dealing with anxiety, depression or life transitions.
Solution-focused work targets practical steps and short-term goals. Sessions concentrate on what is already working, and on small experiments to try between meetings to create momentum and clearer options.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Sue will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences and then shape sessions accordingly. That collaboration helps make sure the work fits the person's situation and feels manageable.
Online formats offer flexibility and easier access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and travel.
