Sue MacMillan
A calm, practical counsellor for anxiety and grief
About Sue
Sue MacMillan helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She offers a calm space to talk about relationship strain, grief and struggles with self-esteem. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and make changes they want.
Sue has three years' experience working with adults who are dealing with persistent worry, social anxiety and phobias. She also supports people wrestling with attachment concerns, control issues, guilt and shame.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and on steps that can make everyday life more manageable. Her background includes training in approaches such as person centred work, psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sue listens closely and uses the parts of those approaches that fit each person.
Therapy is shaped by the client's goals rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions can be in English or French, and Sue works with people in the United Kingdom. She explains methods clearly and helps people try out practical ways to think and act differently.
The aim is steady progress that feels realistic for each person's life. Sue encourages ordinary language and simple tasks between sessions. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
That makes it easier to build small changes into daily routines.

Approaches you can use online and how they help
Person centred work focuses on listening and understanding. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change, which can be useful for low mood, relationship worries and grief. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past relationships and how they affect todays reactions; this can help with attachment concerns and repeating unhelpful behaviours.Cognitive behavioural techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments. These practical steps are often helpful for anxiety, social phobia and problems with control or worry.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped before. That collaborative discussion shapes which methods are tried and how quickly the plan changes if something does not fit.
Online therapy makes these approaches flexible. Video calls let people use visual connection for a fuller conversation, phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth, and brief live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or to work through practical tasks between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily life, while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
