Virginie Sussest , BACP

Virginie Sussest is a licensed UK therapist with more than 11 years of professional experience and membership in the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She works with people managing depression, stress, anxiety, family conflict, and relationship difficulties, offering steady clinical support and practical strategies for change.

For over a decade she worked with Cuse Breavement Care, supporting clients who have experienced grief and loss and developing particular sensitivity around mourning and life transitions. That lengthy bereavement work complements her wider practice and informs how she supports clients facing emotional upheaval.

Virginie approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual circumstances and goals. She views the decision to seek a more fulfilling life as an act of courage and focuses on empowering clients as they take steps toward change, offering guidance and support throughout the process.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Virginie Sussest frequently draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and intimacy issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client is listened to and supported to find their own solutions - it is useful for building self-esteem and coping with life changes. CBT offers practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Virginie will work collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about methods and pacing are made together so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Virginie is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
