Sue Lynes, BACP

Sue Lynes is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people navigate difficult times. She holds an Advanced Diploma Level 5 in Person-Centred Counselling and brings six years of practical experience to her work. Sue creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

She focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. Sue also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, sleeping problems, anger and intimacy-related concerns. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress and the challenges that come with ageing and bereavement.

Sue combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and solution-focused techniques. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings, listens closely to each person's experience, and helps people identify small practical steps they can try. Sessions are paced to suit each individual and to build confidence over time.

Her background includes voluntary roles supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse, and work with a neonatal bereavement charity. Those roles informed her understanding of grief and trauma and reinforced her commitment to respectful, steady support. Sue aims to help people find new perspectives and practical ways forward.

People who choose Sue can expect honest, straightforward conversations and a focus on what matters to them now. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to explore options that feel achievable. This pragmatic, compassionate style underpins her work with midlife concerns and other life transitions.

How Sue's approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. In practice this can help when trust, closeness or repeating patterns are causing pain or confusion. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s pace. It is useful for people who need a steady, respectful space to talk things through. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and on what can change now; it suits people who want clear, short-term goals and usable tools.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Sue treats it as a collaboration. She will talk about your goals and preferences, try different ways of working if needed, and agree a plan that fits your situation. That way the style of therapy is matched to what you want to achieve rather than being imposed in advance.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives, for example by removing travel time and making it easier to book around work or family commitments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require a camera if that helps you engage. Because the available session formats are not specified here, please confirm the exact options offered before booking so you know what to expect.
