Virginie Sussest , BACP

Virginie Sussest is a UK-based licensed therapist with more than 11 years of professional experience. She has worked extensively with people facing depression, stress, anxiety, family conflict and relationship difficulties, offering steady support as they navigate challenging moments.

For over a decade she worked with Cuse Bereavement Care, supporting individuals and families coping with grief and loss, and has developed particular sensitivity around bereavement work. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, adapting conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs of the individual.

Virginie believes that seeking help is an act of courage and that change is possible when someone is supported and empowered. She aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore their goals and take practical steps toward a more fulfilling life. She holds BACP, which denotes membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects adherence to professional standards in the UK.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Virginie integrates several established approaches to match the needs of each person she works with. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings and behavior; it can help people explore trust, intimacy and recurring relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and collaboration, giving clients space to lead the process while the therapist offers support and validation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Virginie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and live chat or text-based messaging provide additional options for ongoing support. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family and other commitments and to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists when in-person visits are difficult.
