Sue Lynes, BACP

Sue Lynes is a person-centred counsellor who combines professional training with years of voluntary practice to support people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and trauma. She holds an Advanced Diploma Level 5 in Person-Centred Counselling, a recognised qualification in person-centred therapeutic practice, and BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - indicating adherence to professional standards. Sue creates a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their feelings, build confidence, and identify practical ways to move forward.

Sue has worked in both private practice and voluntary settings, gaining experience supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and offering emotional care to parents after neonatal loss. Those roles have informed her sensitive approach to grief, trauma, and complex emotional responses, and they continue to shape how she listens and responds in sessions.

Using a collaborative, strengths-based style, Sue helps clients discover new perspectives and develop strategies that feel right for them. She supports people dealing with depression, addictions, family and parenting issues, intimacy and attachment concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, and other life challenges, guiding each person toward meaningful change and deeper connection with themselves and others.

Approaches that inform online therapy

Sue integrates attachment-based work and client-centred principles to shape her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relationship patterns and early bonds - it can help people who struggle with attachment issues, intimacy concerns, or relationship conflicts by exploring how past connections influence current responses. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the process, offering empathy and acceptance so clients can reflect, build self-awareness, and grow at their own pace; this approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work Sue does with each client. She listens to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and together they determine which methods suit the presenting issues and the client’s comfort with online formats.

Online therapy with Sue is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support from anywhere, reduce travel time, and allow people to choose the format that helps them engage most effectively with therapy.
