Sue Walker, BACP

Sue Walker is a counsellor with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or life changes such as a midlife crisis. She also supports those coping with addiction, trauma, and concerns about self-esteem and motivation.

Sue aims to create a calm and non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly about what is troubling them. She focuses on listening carefully and working at the client’s pace. The goal is to help people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

Her approach draws on client-centred work, where the person’s own goals shape the sessions, and on cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot and test unhelpful thoughts. Motivational Interviewing is also used to strengthen resolve and build commitment to change when people feel stuck.

In practice Sue talks through what matters most to each person and helps them set manageable aims. She pays attention to everyday pressures such as work stress, caregiving strain, relationship difficulties, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or past abuse. She also supports people facing identity and body image concerns.

Sue is registered with the BACP, which is listed as her professional credential. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Sue uses client-centred work and CBT online

Sue combines client-centred listening with practical techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Client-centred work means sessions are shaped around the person's priorities, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying what matters most. This approach is useful for people who need a steady, understanding space to talk through worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems and tests small experiments to change them. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and for stepping through practical changes during a midlife transition. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building determination and finding personal reasons to change, which can support people working through addiction or low motivation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Sue will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. The decision is collaborative and revisited over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoid being on camera when that's preferable. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy manageable alongside other commitments.
