About Sue

Sue Walker is a UK counsellor with BACP registration and five years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety and addictions, and she also addresses trauma and abuse. Sue supports clients who want help with self-esteem, confidence and motivation.

She uses straightforward, conversational sessions where people can talk through what is worrying them. Sue focuses on practical steps as well as talking, so sessions often include thinking about how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour. This can help with everyday worries and repeated patterns that make social situations harder.

Sue draws on client-centred practice to listen and follow what each person brings to the room. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try new approaches. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.

Her experience covers a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including relationship and family issues, grief, eating and anger problems, and coping with life changes such as divorce or midlife transitions. She has worked with people facing chronic illness, addiction and mood challenges.

Sue works in English and accepts international clients. Sessions aim to be clear and practical, with a focus on small changes that fit into everyday life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Sue’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach tend to centre on the client’s concerns and priorities, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying to help people notice what changes might help.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises and short between-session tasks to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety and repetitive worrying.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps when someone is unsure about change. In online sessions it is used to explore ambivalence and strengthen a person’s own reasons for moving forward.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Sue will collaborate with each client to decide what fits their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress develops. The decision about how to work together is made jointly and can change over time.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, provide quieter surroundings when needed, or allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a flexible way to keep therapy part of everyday life.
