About Sue

Sue Hunter is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and a Senior Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society (NCS). She has 12 years' experience working in the United Kingdom and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship difficulties and anger among other concerns.

She offers person-centred counselling that focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. Sessions aim to help people notice how they relate to themselves and to others. The goal is clearer self-awareness so clients can make their own choices about next steps.

Sue works integratively and draws on several approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed thinking and emotionally-focused methods. She also practices Emotional Freedom Technique, sometimes called tapping, and can include that in sessions where appropriate.

She also offers Bach flower consultations as a complementary option for those interested in a natural remedial approach. Remedies can be mixed individually and posted to a client's home for an additional cost.

Sue describes her role as helping people talk through hard things and find practical ways to manage day-to-day life. She pays attention to patterns of thought and behaviour and to the emotional experiences that sit underneath them. Her work aims to increase understanding, reduce reactive responses and support better choices in stressful moments.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Sue draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred principles in her practice. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting pushed around by feelings. Attachment-informed work looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own understanding and direction.

Choosing the right method is part of the work itself. She will discuss different options with clients and agree on what to try based on the person's goals, practical needs and preferences. That collaborative planning can include mixing talking work with practical exercises or brief tapping sequences if that seems helpful.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. For some people combining talking therapy with short EFT tapping segments or follow-up remedy consultations works well. Registered or accredited professionals can guide these choices so therapy fits daily life rather than adding extra strain.
