Sue Lynes, BACP

Sue Lynes is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Her practice also covers parenting and sleeping concerns as well as a range of relationship-related problems such as communication and commitment issues.

Sue uses person-centred ideas as a starting point, listening to what matters to each person and helping them notice their own strengths. She draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and patterns. Solution-focused tools are used to set small, practical steps when people want clearer direction and faster progress.

In practice Sue offers direct, straightforward conversation. She helps people name the patterns that cause repeated stress, such as putting others first or struggling to set boundaries. Sessions aim to make those patterns easier to recognise and change through small experiments and regular review.

Sue's background includes both private practice and volunteer roles. She has worked with people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and currently volunteers with a neonatal bereavement charity supporting parents after the loss of a baby. These roles have given her regular experience with grief, trauma and the complex feelings that follow loss.

People who come to Sue often want to build clearer boundaries, cope with difficult moods, or find a steadier way of relating to others. She asks practical questions, listens closely, and works with each person to identify doable steps forward.
