About Sue

Sue Hunter offers calm, straightforward counselling for people facing major life stresses. She meets individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and changes that feel unmanageable. Sue presents herself as patient, honest and non-judgemental, creating space to talk and be heard.

Her practice is rooted in person-centred counselling, which trusts a person’s own resources to find direction. She blends this with other approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused work to match what someone needs in the room. That flexible, integrative style aims to increase self-awareness and help people make clearer choices for everyday life.

Sue has 12 years of experience and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapists (BACP). She is also a Senior Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society (NCS). These details describe her professional registrations as supplied.

Alongside talking therapy she offers complementary options that some clients choose to combine with counselling. She is a Registered Bach Practitioner and can provide bespoke Bach flower remedies for emotional support, posted to a client if desired for an extra cost. She is also a trained Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner and can include this approach when helpful.

Sue works from the United Kingdom and conducts her practice with a gentle, practical focus. She aims to help people build tools for coping, manage distressing emotions, and find more calm in daily life.

How Sue’s approaches can fit into online work

Person-centred counselling focuses on being listened to and understood without judgement. It helps people clarify their feelings and decisions by building a trusting relationship with the therapist. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits, which is useful for anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to recognise and work with strong emotions to improve how a person responds to distress and relationships.

Choosing an approach is usually collaborative. Sue will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and the problems they want to address. Together they decide which mix of person-centred listening, CBT techniques or emotionally-focused work feels most useful for the situation.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in when needed. Some people find sessions without video are less demanding, while others prefer video to read facial cues; Sue will help identify what works best and adapt the pace and tools to fit everyday life.
