About Susan
Susan "Sue" Small is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures and major life changes.
Sue describes herself as neuro-affirming and notes experience with ADHD and autism. She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon or long lectures.
Her background combines Client-Centred, Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused approaches. That mix lets her match short-term problem solving with attention to past hurt when it matters. She will work with the pace a person prefers and adjust methods as progress is made.
In a typical session Sue listens first, then helps identify one or two manageable goals. She may use questions, reflection and simple exercises to test what helps between meetings. This approach aims to create small, steady changes that fit into everyday life.
People contact Sue when change feels hard to start or maintain. Common areas include self-esteem, coping with loss, addiction concerns, anger and the stresses of combining households in blended family situations. Her practice is for adults in the UK and sessions are conducted in English.
Therapy approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and building understanding through listening and reflection. It suits people who want to explore feelings, values and personal choices without directed advice.Solution-Focused Therapy aims at finding immediate, practical steps to change a problem. It is useful for people wanting clear goals and short-term progress on issues like routines, communication and coping strategies.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing past harm in ways that reduce its impact on daily life. It can help when trauma affects relationships, mood or the ability to cope with stress.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will help identify goals, try methods and adjust them based on what works and what feels comfortable. Clients are involved in deciding priorities and pacing.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It can also allow sessions without a camera if that helps someone focus. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally aim to match session style to each person’s circumstances and goals.
