Sue Lynes, BACP

Sue Lynes is a qualified counsellor holding an Advanced Diploma Level 5 in Person-Centred Counselling and is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom. She works from a person-centred stance, believing that each person has inner resources and the capacity to grow when offered a compassionate, non-judgmental environment.

Sue creates a supportive space where clients can speak openly, explore what matters to them, and uncover new perspectives. She focuses on helping people build confidence, identify solutions that fit their lives, and strengthen connections with themselves and others. Her style emphasises empathy, active listening, and collaborative goal-setting so that progress reflects the client’s values and pace.

Her counselling experience includes private practice work and dedicated volunteer roles. She has worked with a charity supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse, offering survivors a place to process their experiences, and she currently volunteers with a neonatal bereavement charity, supporting parents through the complex emotions that follow the loss of a baby. These roles have deepened her understanding of grief and trauma and inform the compassionate, steady approach she brings to every session.

Attachment and Solution-Focused Care Delivered Online

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. By exploring attachment styles, Sue supports clients who struggle with trust, intimacy, abandonment, or relationship difficulties to notice patterns and develop healthier ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers understanding and acceptance - this approach is useful for building self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and practical, concentrating on strengths and small changes that create noticeable improvements; it can be especially helpful for managing stress, setting priorities, and moving forward when feeling stuck.

Sue approaches the choice of method collaboratively. She listens to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and will help determine which approach or combination of approaches is likely to be the best fit, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses. Working together, the client and therapist shape a path that feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Sue is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access regular support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, helping clients fit therapy into busy or complex lives.
