About Susan

Susan "Sue" Small is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and depression. She holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sue takes a straightforward, compassionate approach and aims to make therapy feel manageable for someone taking their first steps.

Sue works in a way that centres the person's own knowledge of their life. She uses client-centred conversations to hear what matters and what feels hard.

Background and approach

She also draws on solution-focused ways of working to set small, practical goals and build steps forward. Trauma is part of the range of concerns Sue supports. She offers trauma-focused approaches when past events continue to affect day-to-day life.

Sessions are paced to suit how someone copes with difficult memories and reactions. Sue is neuro-affirming and has experience supporting people with ADHD and autism. She helps with relationship worries, parenting strain, grief and life transitions, as well as issues such as low self-esteem and body image.

She also works with addictions, anger, bipolar and eating concerns. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Ways of working Susan names

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

How these approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflecting what matters and helping them make sense of their experience. This approach can help when someone needs steady, empathetic support to talk through feelings and decisions.

Solution-focused therapy aims to set practical, short-term goals. It looks for what is already working and builds on small steps. This can be useful for people wanting quick, concrete changes in areas like coping with stress or improving communication.

Trauma-focused therapy pays attention to how past events affect current life. It uses targeted ways of working to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and responses, and sessions are paced according to the person's needs.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy. The counsellor will work collaboratively to find the best fit based on goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions. That may mean using one approach alone or combining elements from different methods.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from anywhere, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and text-based messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while keeping the focus on what the person wants to change.
