About Sue

Sue Hunter is a counsellor and Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) with 12 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and ADHD. Sue uses person-centred ideas and related approaches to help people who find it hard to talk about what they are going through.

Sue describes person-centred work as trusting a person's inner resources to find direction. Sessions focus on listening closely and understanding how someone relates to the world. That practical focus can help people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour and consider different choices.

She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thinking and actions that keep problems going. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to look at feelings in relationships and improve emotional expression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is offered to help people notice thoughts and act in line with what matters to them.

Sue also works with attachment-based concerns and brings that perspective into conversations about connection and relationship patterns. Her background includes membership of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and senior accreditation there, which informs her practice in the UK.

Alongside talking therapy, Sue offers Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) consultations and individual Bach flower remedy consultations. These are described as complementary options and can be used alongside counselling when appropriate. Booking begins by completing the service's short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in worrying cycles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour so practical steps can be tried to reduce checking, avoidance or unhelpful rumination. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings in close relationships and can help people understand and change emotional responses that affect how they connect with others.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as understanding grows.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life - for example shorter check-ins during a busy week or avoiding travel on a difficult day. It can also allow people to meet from a quieter location, use less bandwidth with an audio call, or choose a session time that fits around work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will best suit practical needs when you arrange the first appointment.
