About Sue

Sue Lynes works from a client-centred, attachment-aware perspective. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and addiction. Sue aims to help clients find practical steps forward and build confidence in everyday life.

Sue has a BACP registration and six years of experience in independent practice and voluntary roles. She has supported people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and currently volunteers with a neonatal bereavement charity.

Background and approach

Those roles have informed her understanding of trauma and loss. In sessions she listens carefully and helps clients name what matters most to them. Conversations often focus on improving communication, coping with difficult feelings, and finding small, realistic changes that make life easier.

She emphasises the client’s own strengths while offering gentle guidance. Sue uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client-centred methods to keep the work focused on the person’s priorities.

Solution-focused techniques help create clear, short-term goals and practical strategies. People come to Sue for help with sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, intimacy concerns and issues tied to ageing or illness. She also supports those dealing with dependency patterns, codependency, and substance misuse.

Her approach aims to be straightforward and supportive as clients work through difficult moments.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Sue draws on attachment-based ideas to help people see how early relationships affect their current responses. This approach looks at patterns in how we connect and helps when trust, closeness or abandonment worries are part of the problem.

She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions are guided by what matters to the person. The counsellor focuses on listening, reflecting and supporting you to make choices that feel right. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and identify small, practical steps that build momentum.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor and client will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then try ways of working together that fit. That might mean focusing on emotions first, or setting clear tasks to test new behaviours - the plan evolves with your progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit quieter audio-only check-ins and people with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, journalling-style work or ongoing written support across the week. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family commitments and travel.
