Sue Lynes works from a person-centred approach that puts the client at the heart of the process. She believes people have inner strengths and can find their own solutions. Sue offers a calm, compassionate space where someone can speak openly and be heard without judgement.

Sue uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on solution-focused ways of working to break problems down into manageable steps.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build confidence and find small practical changes that make a difference. She has six years of counselling experience across independent practice and voluntary roles. Sue has volunteered with a charity supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse.

She also volunteers for a neonatal bereavement charity, supporting parents after the loss of a baby. Those experiences have given Sue practical insight into grief and trauma and how they affect daily life. She brings that lived experience into sessions while keeping the focus on what the person in front of her needs now.

Treatment plans are shaped together, starting from the client’s own priorities. Sue is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers sessions in English and works with people based in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How attachment and person-centred work translate online

Sue draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape patterns in adulthood and current emotional reactions. That approach helps when issues involve trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns.

She also uses a client-centred style that prioritises the person’s own experience, offering a non-judgemental space to talk and be heard. Solution-focused techniques are used alongside these approaches to identify small, practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Sue works collaboratively to match the method to a person’s goals, needs and preferences, and she adapts the mix as progress is made.

Online therapy with her can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for a fuller conversational feel, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be used for brief reflections or ongoing support between meetings. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving or travel.
