Virginie Sussest , BACP

Virginie Sussest is a UK-based, licensed therapist with more than 11 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. She has worked extensively with depression, stress, anxiety, family conflict, and relationship difficulties, and spent over 10 years with Cuse Bereavement Care providing support to those coping with grief and loss. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to match the individual's needs and circumstances.

Virginie emphasizes practical collaboration, helping clients identify goals and take steps toward a more satisfying life while offering steady encouragement along the way. She holds BACP credentials - membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on that professional foundation in her practice. She offers therapy in English, French, and Italian, and aims to create a supportive space that empowers people to explore change, build resilience, and pursue greater well-being.

Seeking help takes courage, and Virginie frames her role as a partner who listens carefully, tailors interventions, and supports clients as they move toward the changes they want to make.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current emotional responses and bonds. It helps people understand attachment needs and improve connection and trust in close relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience, with the therapist offering empathetic listening and nonjudgmental support. This approach is useful for exploring feelings, building self-understanding, and strengthening self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety and low mood. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and behavioral patterns that clients wish to change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Virginie works collaboratively with each person to clarify needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods or combination of methods will best support progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from home, and continue work with a registered professional even when in-person meetings are not practical.
