About Susan
Susan "Sue" Small is a UK-based counsellor with six years of practical experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and big life changes. Sue believes people know their own stories and helps them take the first steps towards change.
She uses clear, conversational methods rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what a person wants to achieve and on simple ways to move forward. That might mean looking at practical coping skills, short-term goals, or ways to process difficult events.
Background and approach
Sue pays attention to how brain differences affect daily life and is neuro-affirming. She has experience supporting people with ADHD and autism spectrum traits, and she understands how those experiences interact with mood, relationships and work. Her approach aims to meet each person where they are.
Trauma and abuse are addressed with care and pacing suited to the individual. Sue draws on trauma-focused work to help people name what happened and reduce its hold on day-to-day life, while also building skills to feel steadier in the present. Sue is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She offers sessions in English by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits your needs.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and what changes a person wants to see. Sessions tend to be goal oriented and brief, which can suit people wanting fast, concrete progress on work, relationships or coping skills.
Trauma-Focused Therapy supports people to process distressing events at a pace that feels manageable. It emphasises safety, naming what happened and building strategies to reduce symptoms and regain daily stability.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. Plans can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging allow check-ins, shorter updates and ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility to match practical life demands and communication preferences.
