Susan "Sue" Small , BACP

Susan "Sue" Small is a UK-based, qualified therapist with six years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and major life changes. She works with clients on issues related to motivation, self-esteem and confidence, relationships, and the impact of trauma and abuse, offering a calm and empathetic presence as clients take steps toward change.

She practices from a neuro-affirming stance and has specific experience working with ADHD/ADD and Autism, recognising how neurodiversity can shape the way someone experiences the world and therapy. Sue believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that, with support and practical tools, it is possible to move beyond what feels stuck or overwhelming.

Sue holds the BACP credential, which is the UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists, and she aims to create a supportive therapeutic relationship that honours a client’s strengths while gently exploring challenges. Seeking help is a courageous first step, and she is available to walk alongside clients as they pursue a more fulfilling life.

How Sue's therapeutic approaches guide online work

Sue uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective guides the pace and content of sessions. This approach helps people exploring self-esteem, relationships, and difficult life transitions by focusing on the client’s insights and goals.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which emphasises practical steps and short-term goals to build forward momentum. This method is useful for clients seeking concrete strategies to manage stress, anxiety, or motivation challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Sue treats this as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify what feels most helpful, adapting techniques and focus according to their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to access support from home. These options help maintain continuity of care and make it possible for clients to choose the format that best supports their progress.
