Sue Lynes

Sue Lynes is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. She holds an Advanced Diploma Level 5 in Person-Centred Counselling and brings a calm, compassionate approach to conversations about difficult issues.

Sue believes people have inner resources that can be uncovered in conversation. She offers a non-judgemental space to talk and helps clients notice new ways of thinking. The aim is practical steps that build confidence and lead to clearer choices.

Her background includes both private practice and sustained volunteer work. She has supported people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and currently volunteers with a neonatal bereavement charity. These roles have given her direct experience of grief and trauma work.

In sessions she focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person in front of her. She uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and solution-focused methods to identify next steps. This mix helps when people are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship pain, addiction or the after-effects of abuse.

Sue also works with concerns such as sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, codependency and issues around abandonment or attachment. Her approach is gentle and practical, aiming to help people find manageable changes they can try between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In practice this means noticing how people relate, talking through where difficult patterns come from, and trying small changes that improve close relationships. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding without judgement, helping the person feel heard and explore what matters to them. Solution-focused work is goal-oriented and practical, identifying small steps to try between sessions to move things forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas to try and adjust them over time based on the client’s goals and preferences. It is a shared process of experimenting and reviewing what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, remove travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose arrangements that match daily routines, such as shorter sessions for a work break or audio-only conversations if video is difficult. Many people find this flexibility helpful when juggling family, work and other commitments.
