About Susan
Susan "Sue" Small is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and offers support for grief, low self-esteem and life transitions. Sue also helps with relationship concerns, addiction issues, and challenges linked to ADHD and autism.
Sue describes her approach as person-centred. She treats each person as the expert on their life and listens without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now and on small, practical steps that can make a difference.
Her work often includes short-term solution-focused conversations to identify immediate goals and next steps. For people carrying trauma, she uses Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques to help process difficult experiences at a pace that suits them.
Sue aims to make therapy straightforward and collaborative. She offers space to talk through emotions, learn coping strategies, and build confidence. The emphasis is on clear, manageable changes rather than complex jargon.
Clients who want help with career strain, parenting stress or body image concerns may also find her helpful. She notes experience with a wide range of issues including abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress and relationship communication problems. Sue supports men’s wellbeing among other concerns, and works in English only.
How these approaches shape online therapy
Sue uses a person-centred approach that starts by listening to the client’s priorities and experiences. This means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on building coping skills and self-understanding over time.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify small, practical steps toward their goals. These conversations aim to find realistic changes that can be tried between sessions and reviewed for progress.
For those carrying difficult memories, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to work through painful events at a pace the client chooses, helping reduce the hold those experiences have on day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sue will discuss different methods during early sessions and match her style to the client’s needs, goals and preferences so the plan feels collaborative rather than fixed.
