About Sue

Sue Lynes works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleeping problems, parenting and anger. She uses person-centred ideas to help people find what matters to them and look for practical steps forward. Sue is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' experience.

Sue trained to Advanced Diploma Level 5 in Person-Centred Counselling, which shapes how she listens and responds in sessions. She focuses on what the person brings to the room and supports them to notice strengths and choices. Her approach is straightforward and conversational rather than technical.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, avoidant or dependent personality traits, and difficulties with commitment or intimacy.

Sue applies solution-focused techniques to help people set practical goals and try small, manageable changes. Those methods are often brought into work on communication problems, codependency, control issues and blended family challenges.

Her background includes private practice and volunteer roles supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse, and supporting bereaved parents after neonatal loss. Those roles informed her understanding of grief, trauma and addiction-related issues and influenced how she responds to complex emotional situations.

Sessions are conducted in English. Sue accepts international clients; please confirm session formats before booking to ensure they suit your needs.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections and trust. It can help when people struggle with abandonment, attachment issues or intimacy-related problems.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own resources and perspective. The counsellor listens without directing and helps people identify what matters and what they want to change.

Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, practical steps and specific goals. This approach is often used for issues like communication problems, codependency or managing anger by trying manageable changes between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a way of working that combines these methods where appropriate.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a week and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, which can suit different needs and practical circumstances.
