About Virginie
Virginie Sussest offers a warm, person-centred approach to counselling. She uses practical conversation and thoughtful listening to help people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Virginie draws on 11 years of professional experience and works in English, French and Italian.
She spent over a decade with Cuse Bereavement Care supporting people through grief and loss, and this informs how she approaches sensitive issues. Virginie aims to be respectful and compassionate in every session.
Background and approach
She adapts the way she talks and plans work to match each person’s situation. Her practice includes work around family tensions, intimacy-related concerns, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and parenting stress. She also supports people facing career pressure, compassion fatigue and life changes.
People with ADHD, bipolar conditions or chronic health challenges are also within her areas of focus. Virginie combines several therapeutic approaches to suit individual needs. She uses elements of attachment-based and client-centred work to build trust.
Cognitive methods and solution-focused techniques are used when people want practical tools and short-term goals. The first step is a conversation to understand what matters to the person seeking help. Virginie then suggests a way forward and adjusts it as progress is made.
Her aim is to support and empower people to make changes that feel right for them.

How Virginie works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest a plan. That plan can change as progress is made, and decisions about methods are made collaboratively.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or removing the need to be on camera for every appointment. Many people find that flexible scheduling helps them sustain regular sessions and apply what they learn between meetings.
