About Virginie
Virginie Sussest is a counsellor registered with the BACP with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, stress and anxiety, and with those coping with relationship and family concerns. She also has long experience supporting people through grief and bereavement.
Her background includes more than a decade working with Cuse Bereavement Care, where she supported people after loss. That work shaped how she talks about grief, and how she helps people find steady steps forward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other approaches to give clear, practical ways to notice thoughts and try different responses.
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, manageable changes. She uses client-centred listening to understand each person's situation and attachment-based ideas when relationships and trust are central issues. Psychodynamic and solution-focused methods are also part of her work when exploring patterns and setting reachable goals.
Virginie works in English, French and Italian. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including anger, addictions, intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD and chronic health challenges. She also addresses areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, attachment difficulties, body image and caregiving stress.
Practical next steps are straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.
CBT, attachment work and practical online sessions
Virginie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. CBT offers concrete tools for anxiety, low mood and stress, and for changing patterns that keep problems going.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust. Client-Centred Therapy is part of her approach as well, focusing on listening and understanding the person's experience so practical steps come from that shared view.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on goals, preferences and what feels manageable. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as current session options are set in the therapist's profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions in another language when that is helpful, and it supports continuing therapy while managing life commitments.
