About Sue

Sue Culm is a counsellor based in Glasgow who draws on four years of experience supporting people through difficult moments. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and uses that professional framework to guide her practice.

Sue aims to help people manage anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem problems so they can feel more able in day-to-day life. Sue meets each person without judgement and focuses on the concerns they bring, not on labels.

Background and approach

She has worked in the third sector with people experiencing chronic anxiety, long-term depression, and trauma related to sexual violence and childhood experiences. That background informs how she listens and plans sessions. Her work often blends cognitive behavioural techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas.

She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them in real life, and build small habits that change how they feel. Practical exercises and short-term goals are common parts of her sessions. Sue also supports people with eating and body-image concerns and works with issues around intimacy, attachment, abandonment, and relationship communication.

She will talk through coping strategies for addiction, separation, or family conflict and help clients explore patterns that keep them stuck. Sue offers telephone, video, live chat and text-based sessions. Conversations aim to be collaborative - setting clear steps and checking progress as therapy continues.

If someone wants straightforward, practical tools and compassionate support, she helps them shape the next steps.

Ways of working Sue 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 different approaches work online

Sue commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in her online work. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, test those thoughts in real situations and try different behaviours to see what helps. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can ease anxiety and low mood.

The choice of approach is a joint decision. Sue will talk with each person about their goals, previous experiences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed, so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between longer sessions or to work through smaller, focused problems. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, family and other commitments while still getting structured, goal-oriented support.
