About Susan
Susan "Sue" Small is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She holds BACP accreditation with experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety and depression. Sue presents herself as a calm, encouraging presence for those ready to take a first step toward change.
Sue says she believes people are the experts in their own lives and that change is possible even when things feel stuck. She offers steady support while clients talk through grief, relationship strain, or life transitions.
Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and warm, with an emphasis on practical next steps. She works with a wide range of concerns including low self-esteem, motivation struggles, addiction-related issues and anger. Her practice also addresses neurodiversity-related topics such as ADHD and autism, and she names additional focuses like attachment and body image.
The list of areas reflects topics she commonly helps people with. Sue uses client-centred methods that prioritise each person’s priorities and pace. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals.
For people affected by traumatic events she incorporates trauma-focused approaches to help process difficult experiences. Sessions aim to make things manageable rather than overwhelming. Sue tends to keep conversations clear and goal-oriented while staying attuned to feelings.

Approaches Susan lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Susan works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep sessions brief when needed. It can also allow quieter check-ins that do not require being on camera or longer conversations when more time is useful. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly tailor session length and focus to fit everyday life and practical schedules.
