Susan "Sue" Small , BACP

Susan "Sue" Small is a UK-based therapist with six years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. She works with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, motivation, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD and autism, addictions, eating and parenting challenges, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. As a BACP credential holder (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), she brings professional training and an ethical framework to her practice.

Sue follows a neuro-affirming approach, recognising neurodiversity and tailoring support for clients with ADHD/ADD and Autism. She approaches therapy from a belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that, with support, it is possible to move through what currently feels overwhelming. Her work is collaborative and strengths-based, helping people find practical ways to cope, build confidence, and make meaningful changes.

Seeking therapy often takes courage, and Sue offers steady, compassionate guidance as clients take first steps toward greater fulfilment. She aims to share the therapeutic process alongside each person she works with, helping them to identify goals, develop coping strategies, and navigate transitions with clearer direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Susan "Sue" Small integrates client-centered, solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas into her online practice to meet each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead - this approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and rebuilding confidence. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and short-term goals, helping people identify strengths and small, achievable changes to reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the effects of past harm, offering structured support to process traumatic experiences and develop safer coping strategies for those affected by abuse or significant loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sue works collaboratively with clients to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for each person.

Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, reduce travel time, and access therapy from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists who focus on practical progress.
