About Susan
Susan "Sue" Small is a British counsellor registered with the BACP who has six years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and with anger that affects close relationships or work. She also supports people coping with life changes, motivation and self-esteem struggles.
Sue describes herself as neuro-affirming and has experience supporting people with ADHD/ADD and autism. She works from the view that each person knows their own situation best. In sessions she helps people talk through what is getting in the way and decide what steps feel manageable next.
Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working and solution-focused conversations. That means sessions often start with what matters most now and look for small, realistic changes to try between meetings. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm is part of the problem.
Sue aims to make sessions practical and straightforward. She listens for patterns that keep stress or anger cycling, and then helps people practise different responses. This might include clearer communication techniques, setting limits, or short behavioural experiments to reduce flare-ups.
If someone wants to start, the usual first step is a short matching questionnaire and a first meeting. Sue works in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Sue's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. Online sessions using this approach give space for the client to set the agenda and for the counsellor to reflect back what they hear. It suits people who want to be listened to and to make sense of their feelings about anger and stress.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps. Over a few sessions the counsellor and client look for what already helps and build on it. This approach is useful when someone wants quick, actionable ways to reduce flare-ups or manage frustration at work.
Sue will work with each person to find which approach fits best. She treats the choice as a collaborative decision based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That means early meetings will include agreeing what to try and how to measure progress.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, school runs or caregiving by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins. It can also make camera-free options or brief phone-style conversations possible when a quieter or lower-bandwidth setup helps.
