About Virginie

Virginie Sussest is a counsellor who draws on eleven years of experience to support people facing depression, stress and anxiety. She works in English, French and Italian and offers conversations that aim to be respectful and compassionate. Virginie shapes each session to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Her background includes more than a decade working with bereavement services, where she supported people coping with grief and loss.

Background and approach

That work taught her how painful life changes can feel and how long recovery often takes. She uses that experience when addressing relationship strain, family conflict, and losses both big and small. Virginie uses a mix of approaches including attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques.

In practice this means she listens closely, helps people map patterns that keep them stuck, and works with them to try different ways of responding. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She also draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape present feelings.

Solution-focused steps are used to set small, achievable goals between sessions. People seeking help for eating or sleeping issues, burnout, addiction concerns, ADHD or life transitions can find focused support. Virginie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She offers online sessions in several formats and tailors plans to fit each person’s needs and circumstances.

Online support

Virginie commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her online practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling, and it can help with relationship strain, loss and trust issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then experiment with alternative behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also draws on client-centred counselling, which means conversations focus on the person's experience and pace. The therapist and client work together to decide which approaches to try, tailoring the plan to goals and preferences rather than following a fixed script. Finding the right method is part of the journey and adjustments are made as progress or obstacles appear.

Online therapy with Virginie is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other daily demands while still accessing professional support from registered or accredited professionals.
