About Susan
Susan "Sue" Small is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Sue also helps those struggling with motivation, self-esteem and life changes.
Sue takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and listens without judgement. Sessions aim to help clients make small, practical changes that fit their daily lives.
Background and approach
Her work includes supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, and she is neuro-affirming with experience of autism and ADHD. Sue also addresses relationship concerns, addictions, eating issues and parenting stresses when these come up in individual work. Sue uses methods that keep conversations clear and goal-oriented.
She draws on client-centred ways of working and solution-focused techniques to help people spot strengths and try new strategies. Trauma-informed methods inform how she responds to distress and safety needs in session. People can expect a calm, steady presence and practical steps between sessions.
Sue encourages reflection and small experiments to test new ways of coping. Her aim is to help people feel more in control of everyday challenges and to build on what already works for them.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Sue uses client-centred counselling which focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a non-directive space to make sense of feelings and decide on next steps.She also uses solution-focused work to identify small, achievable changes. This method suits people who want concrete goals and practical strategies they can try between sessions. Trauma-informed practices shape how difficult memories and distress are handled, with care taken to pace conversations and notice safety and regulation needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Sue treats it as a collaboration. She will talk through options and adapt methods to match a client's needs, goals and preferences rather than following a single plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for short check-ins or for those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, and allow continuity of care without travelling to appointments.
