Background and approach
She also focuses on relationship stress, grief and coping with major life changes. Sessions are relaxed and conversational. Sue uses a client-centred style to listen to what matters most to each person and to shape therapy around their goals.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on motivational interviewing to build momentum for change. People can expect practical steps alongside space to talk. Sue helps clients identify small, realistic changes and to practise new ways of responding to stress and difficult feelings.
The approach is collaborative and paced to what the client can manage.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Sue uses client-centred work to focus on what matters most to each person, creating space for honest talk and helping people set their own goals. Client-centred work is useful for people wanting a supportive, non-directive way to make sense of feelings and choices.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small changes to see what helps. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Motivational interviewing is another strand she draws on to help people increase their own motivation and make decisions about change, which is helpful around addiction and readiness to act.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Sue will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then agree a plan that might combine different methods. This keeps therapy practical and relevant to the client's situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when less bandwidth is available, and messaging or chat can suit brief check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel and help people continue work between meetings.
