Sue Lynes
Compassionate counselling for stress and relationships
About Sue
Sue Lynes is a counsellor who uses person-centred and attachment-focused approaches to help people move through difficult moments. She combines a warm, non-judgemental manner with practical conversation to help people find clearer perspectives and greater self-trust. Sue works in a way that keeps things simple and direct.
Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in the room. She listens, reflects, and gently guides people to try different ways of coping and relating.
Background and approach
Her practice covers common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. She also supports people facing relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, sleep problems and anger. Addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to abandonment and attachment are part of her wider focus.
Sue has six years of counselling experience in both independent practice and volunteer roles. She has worked with a charity supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and currently volunteers with a neonatal bereavement service. These roles have informed her understanding of trauma and loss.
She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Clients can expect a compassionate space to talk, practical ideas to try between sessions, and a collaborative way of working that builds on each person’s strengths.

How Sue's approaches work online
Sue uses attachment-based thinking to understand how past relationships affect present feelings and reactions. This helps when people struggle with trust, fear of abandonment or difficulty forming close bonds. She also practises client-centred counselling, which places the person’s experience at the heart of each session and emphasises listening and acceptance.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sue will discuss the options and decide with each person what feels most helpful. The choice is collaborative and may change as goals and needs shift over time.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for people juggling busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between meetings, or people who prefer writing over speaking. Registered or accredited professionals provide these formats, and they can make starting and keeping up with therapy more flexible and accessible.
