About Sue
Counsellor Sue Lynes is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with six years' experience working in the UK. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy or sleep difficulties.
Sue uses a person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the person who attends. She listens, reflects, and helps people name feelings and patterns that cause distress. This practical approach supports people to try small changes between sessions.
Her background includes private practice and voluntary roles with charities. She has supported people affected by sexual and domestic abuse. She also volunteers with a neonatal bereavement charity, supporting parents after baby loss. These roles have informed her work with grief and trauma.
In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set achievable goals and client-centred methods to keep the person's priorities central. The focus is on clear steps and what feels manageable for the client.
Practical matters such as session length, fees and how to book are discussed early on. Sue asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session. This helps decide whether her way of working fits the person’s needs.
How her therapies translate to remote counselling
Sue works with person-centred ideas that keep the client's priorities at the centre. This approach means sessions focus on what the person brings, with the counsellor reflecting and helping to name feelings and aims. It suits people who need space to talk and make sense of their thoughts.Attachment-based ideas look at how earlier relationships affect present feelings and patterns. This can help with relationship worries, problems with trust, or recurring emotional reactions. Solution-focused work uses short, practical steps and clear goals to make change more manageable in day-to-day life.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Sue will discuss goals and preferences with the client and together decide which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, remote counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to phone or video work when those formats are offered, helping therapy to fit into everyday life.
