About Sue

Sue Hunter is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing midlife challenges, stress and major life changes. She works with people struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship pain and difficulties such as addiction, sleep or eating problems. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aiming to listen without judgement and help people feel heard and clearer about their next steps.

Sue uses a person-centred foundation combined with other therapeutic methods. She focuses on helping people understand how they relate to themselves and others, and how that shapes everyday choices. That usually leads to increased self-awareness and more confidence in making change.

Her practice combines talking therapy with some holistic options. Sue is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP, and a Senior Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society, NCPS. She also offers Bach flower consultations and Emotional Freedom Technique, often called tapping, alongside counselling when appropriate.

Sessions aim to explore patterns, emotional reactions and practical ways to cope. Sue describes her role as accepting, genuine and honest, helping people access their own inner resources. The emphasis is on collaborative work at a pace that suits the individual.

With 12 years' experience, Sue blends humanistic ideas with structured tools to support change. If someone wants to address issues such as attachment concerns, caregiver stress, anger, low self-esteem or career uncertainty, she offers steady, person-focused support.

How Sue’s approaches translate to online work

Sue integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy into her counselling. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports moving toward values-based actions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and accepted, helping people access their own resources to make choices and change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sue works collaboratively to identify which methods match a person’s goals and preferences, and she adapts her use of techniques as trust and clarity grow in sessions.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use techniques such as EFT tapping alongside conversation in the same appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can help set realistic plans that fit everyday schedules and practical needs, so discuss what will work best during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
