Susan "Sue" Small, BACP

Susan "Sue" Small is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has six years of practice supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. Sue is direct and warm in sessions and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult things.

Sue works in a neuro-affirming way and has experience with ADHD and autism. She respects each person's experience and treats them as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps that feel manageable day to day.

Her approach blends person-centred listening with solution-focused techniques. That means time is spent both understanding what matters to the client and identifying small changes that can help. Sue also uses trauma-focused methods when past events are causing current distress.

She helps people dealing with grief, relationship pain, addiction, eating issues and major life transitions. She also supports those worried about self-esteem, anger, career pressures and coping after separation or bereavement. Jealousy may come up within relationship and attachment concerns and is something she can address in sessions.

Sue aims for clear, paced conversations and practical steps between meetings. She encourages people to try ideas and reflect on what works. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments according to the available times.

How Sue's approaches are used in online counselling

Sue uses client-centred counselling to follow the person's lead and understand what matters most to them. This approach focuses on empathetic listening and helping people feel heard, which is useful for stress, low mood and relationship concerns.

She also draws on solution-focused methods that look for small, practical steps to try between sessions. These techniques aim to build momentum by identifying strengths and experimenting with doable changes in daily life.

Trauma-focused methods are used when past experiences are affecting current wellbeing. That work is paced to the individual and concentrates on helping people manage upsetting memories and reactions so they have more control day to day.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Sue will discuss options with each person and adapt methods based on needs, goals and preferences. This makes the work collaborative rather than imposed.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helpful because it can fit into a busy week, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to try regular, steady work on issues such as grief, anxiety and relationship worries while keeping therapy practical and goal oriented.
