About Sue

Sue Lynes is a counsellor who uses person-centred principles and attachment-aware thinking to support people through difficult life events. She aims to create a compassionate, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly and begin to make small, manageable changes. Her work focuses on helping people build confidence and discover practical ways forward.

Sue draws on six years of practice in both personal and voluntary settings. She has an Advanced Diploma Level 5 in Person-Centred Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.

Background and approach

Her background includes volunteering with a charity for people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and with a neonatal bereavement charity. Those experiences have given her direct exposure to grief, trauma and the challenges people face after loss. In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people name the next step rather than jump straight to solutions.

The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sue commonly works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related problems, addictions and anger. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep difficulties, bereavement and family conflict.

Additional focuses include attachment issues, abandonment, caregiver stress and the effects of serious illness. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Conversations are practical and rooted in the person’s experience.

Sue encourages reflection, builds on strengths and helps people find clearer ways to manage painful emotions.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Attachment-aware and person-centred support online

Sue uses approaches rooted in attachment-aware and person-centred thinking to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect feelings and trust today and can help when people struggle with closeness, abandonment or communication problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening deeply and helping people find their own answers, which suits issues like grief, anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical change and building on small steps that move someone toward their goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sue will listen to the person’s story, discuss what they want to achieve and suggest ways of working together. Plans are adapted over time so the approach fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for richer conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping a consistent therapeutic relationship with a registered BACP counsellor.
