Sue Culm is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice and a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or struggles with self-esteem. Sue aims to make the first steps simple and approachable for someone worried about asking for help.

Her background includes work in the third sector supporting people with chronic anxiety, trauma from sexual violence, childhood trauma and long-standing depression.

Background and approach

That experience shaped a non-judgemental way of meeting each person as an individual rather than a set of labels. She draws on practical techniques to address immediate problems and everyday coping needs. Sue uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help finding personal goals and building motivation. These approaches are explained in plain language and practised together in sessions. Sessions concentrate on learning new ways of thinking, building coping strategies and improving emotional resilience.

Sue describes therapy as a collaborative process - she helps people try different tools and notice what works for them. The aim is to leave people better equipped to manage challenges on their own. People can expect a caring, straightforward style that centres their goals.

The emphasis is on clear, achievable steps rather than complex theory. When someone is ready to begin, Sue guides them through a simple process to get started.

How Sue Uses Practical Approaches Online

CBT or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and practising new ways of thinking. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood and problems with self-esteem by breaking larger issues into small, manageable steps.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase calm. It can support people who feel overwhelmed by constant worry or strong emotions by offering short exercises to use during the day.

Sue treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk through options and adapt techniques to match goals and preferences, so sessions feel relevant and useful. Clients try tools in sessions and review what helps most over time.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy lives. Video suits in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study or family commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
