About Sue

Sue Culm is a counsellor based in Glasgow with four years of practice. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sue offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, trauma, eating concerns and struggles with self-esteem.

She draws on everyday language and practical steps in sessions. Sue helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking and coping.

Background and approach

Work together aims to build small, steady changes that add up over time. Sue has experience working in the third sector where she supported people living with chronic anxiety, trauma from sexual violence, childhood trauma and long-term depression. That background shaped a non-judgemental approach and an emphasis on meeting the person in front of her.

Her sessions are tailored to each person. Sue commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing to set manageable goals, practise new skills, and reduce distress. The focus is practical - learning ways to respond to triggers, manage intense emotions, and improve day-to-day functioning.

People who prefer clear structure and gentle challenge often find her style helpful. She offers a calm, respectful space to work through difficult experiences related to relationships, identity, body image, addiction, guilt and shame, and other life changes. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used, with session options that include video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

How Sue uses CBT and mindfulness online

Sue commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness approaches in online work. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. It can help people who struggle with rumination, stress or intense emotions. Motivational interviewing may also be used to explore ambivalence and support change in areas like addiction or behaviour shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue treats the choice as collaborative and will discuss what feels helpful based on goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to slot into a busy day, while chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy going alongside work, family and other commitments.
