About Susan
Susan "Sue" Small is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and people coping with life changes. She also supports those managing ADHD, autism and trauma-related concerns.
Sue describes people as the experts in their own stories. She listens, reflects and helps people identify practical steps they can try. Sessions focus on clear, manageable changes rather than long theoretical talks. This approach can suit someone who wants straightforward help making decisions or getting unstuck.
Her background includes working with relationship difficulties, issues around self-esteem and confidence, and the emotional effects of bereavement. She also has experience with addictions, eating issues and anger management. Sue names specific interests in attachment, abandonment and caregiver stress among other concerns.
In practice she draws on client-centred ways of working, solution-focused techniques and trauma-informed approaches. That means sessions often centre on what matters most to the person, set short-term goals, and address past events where they affect current life. She keeps language plain and immediate so conversations stay practical.
People who are weighing career or parenting changes, finding motivation hard, or wanting clearer coping strategies often seek this kind of work. Anyone considering booking should confirm current session options before arranging a first meeting.
How Sue’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said, and helps the client make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful when someone needs space to clarify values, choices and what matters next.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what works right now. Sessions set short-term, achievable goals and track progress week to week. This style fits people who want concrete changes and quick coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Sue will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods to use based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That means the plan can change as sessions go on to better fit what helps most.
The original profile does not specify exact session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit meetings around work, school runs or medical appointments, and they can suit quieter conversations or shorter check-ins. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use online work to keep sessions practical and consistent with a client's everyday life.
