About Sue
Sue Culm is a Glasgow-based counsellor with four years' experience. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Sue works directly with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress and low self-esteem, helping them find clearer ways forward.
She draws on lived experience and varied work in the third sector to connect without judgement. That background has included supporting people with chronic anxiety, sexual violence trauma, childhood trauma and long-term depression.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at small, steady changes. Sue uses cognitive behavioural techniques alongside mindfulness and solution-focused ideas. Sessions look at the thoughts people repeat, and how to try different responses.
She also brings in motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck. The work often centres on building coping skills, improving mood, and reducing worry. Sue also supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, body image and eating-related struggles, and issues such as abandonment, attachment and codependency.
She pays attention to each person’s individual goals. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which lets people choose what fits their life. Sue asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling so the work can begin in a clear, organised way.
How Sue uses practical approaches online
Sue commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness as part of online work. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try different thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help with stress, overwhelming emotions and repetitive worry.She treats choice of approach as a collaborative decision. During early sessions she will discuss goals and preferences, then agree a plan that combines techniques likely to help. That way the person and therapist try methods together and adjust what isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit into busy days or offer more frequent brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family duties and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
