Sue Lynes

I work Monday - Saturday, day and evening appointments are currently available.  This can be face to face or online.  Please do call or message a couple of options of days and time that would suit you.

If you require counselling in your own home do call so we can discuss this further. 

Hello my name is Sue. I offer a warm, safe space in my private practice in Southsea. I also work online.

I am here to listen without judgement, to work with you to make sense of what troubles you.  The world we live in can throw many curved balls at us, be it anxiety, grief, depression, addiction to name a few. Sometimes we need to give ourselves the time and space to look at what this means to our life. Together, we will go gently at your pace to make sense of what may seem and feel just too much for your heart and mind to carry right now. I will work with you towards bringing about change. 

I appreciate that it's important to find a counsellor that you feel comfortable with and to be understood. I offer a free 20 minute consultation phone call so that we can talk through what you initially hope to achieve through working together. This will also give you an opportunity to ask any questions about counselling and how I work.

I work within a humanistic, person centred way of counselling. In practice this means I accept and value you, I’ll be honest and transparent about how I experience you and your world, whilst offering empathic understanding of your viewpoint. 

I offer short and long term counselling.  In the first instance these are usually weekly but as we go through your counselling journey together you may find that you are comfortable coming, for example, twice a month.  

Sessions are £50 lasting for 50 minutes. I also offer couples counselling at £75 lasting for 1 hour.

Payment is required 2 days before your appointment.  

Sometimes life gets in the way and cancellations can’t be avoided, but I would kindly ask that you contact me at least 48 hours in advance to do so.  In general, cancellations after this time will be charged at 50%.  

In the first session we will take a short amount of time at the beginning to go through the paperwork, which I will send out to you via email prior to the session.  This will needed to be completed in the first session only.

In the rest of the session we will start to get to know each other and focusing on what brought you to counselling.

Sessions last 50 minutes.
