About Virginie
Virginie Sussest uses a blend of relational and practical approaches to help people move through difficult moments. She brings 11 years of experience and a warm, respectful manner to conversations about stress, anxiety and depression. Virginie speaks English, French and Italian and works from the United Kingdom.
Her work often focuses on grief and loss, having spent more than a decade with Cuse Bereavement Care supporting people after bereavement. She also helps with relationship strain, family concerns and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
Other common topics she supports include addiction, anger, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with big life changes. Virginie draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working that put the person and their relationships at the centre of sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help identify unhelpful thoughts and practical steps to change them.
Psychodynamic perspectives and solution-focused interventions are woven in when they suit the client’s needs. Clients can expect conversations shaped to their situation, with goals agreed together and adjusted over time. Virgine aims to be sensitive and compassionate while offering clear, down-to-earth guidance.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then sessions are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stress. Virginie will discuss which approaches suit each person and adapt the mix as work progresses so goals match what the client wants to achieve.
Working online gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit around work breaks or travel. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting around daily life and changing schedules.
