Sue Lynes, BACP

Sue Lynes works from a person-centred, attachment-informed approach. She focuses on helping people find their own solutions and build emotional resilience. Sue offers a calm, compassionate space to talk about stressful life events, loss, relationship difficulties and problems with sleep or addiction.

Sue uses simple, direct conversation to help people see things differently. She listens without judgment and supports clients to clarify what matters to them. Sessions are practical and focused on small steps that make daily life easier.

Her background includes six years of counselling practice in both private and voluntary settings. She holds an Advanced Diploma Level 5 in Person-Centred Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sue has volunteered with services for survivors of sexual and domestic abuse and currently works with a neonatal bereavement charity. These roles have shaped her understanding of grief, trauma and the stress faced by caregivers and families.

She helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, addictions and issues linked to ageing and geriatric concerns. Sue also supports work on attachment, abandonment, communication and emotion regulation, using short-term goals where helpful.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sue encourages clients to move at a pace that feels right and to focus on practical changes that fit everyday life.

How Sue uses person-centred and solution-focused work online

Sue draws on person-centred practice to create an open, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping clients increase self-understanding and confidence. Attachment-informed ideas guide attention to how past relationships shape present feelings and behaviours, which can be useful for relationship, intimacy and caregiving concerns.

Solution-focused elements are used to set clear, practical goals and identify small, achievable steps. That means sessions often include exploring what has helped before and building on strengths rather than only focusing on problems. Choosing an approach is collaborative - Sue will work with each person to find the mix that fits their needs, goals and preferences.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life by removing travel and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling when needed. Sue aims to help people integrate work from sessions into everyday routines so progress can feel practical and manageable.
