About Sue
Sue Hunter is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling Society (NCS). She offers person-centred work and describes helping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and parenting concerns. People reading here will find straightforward language about how she meets everyday struggles at home.
Sue uses person-centred counselling as a base. That means she focuses on listening without judgement and on helping people trust their own resources. She combines this with other approaches to suit the matter being discussed rather than following a single method.
Her practice includes elements drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practise different responses and focus on values and relationships. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and clarity about next steps.
The biography also notes additional focus areas such as ADHD, caregiver stress, body image, attachment issues and coping with life changes. Sue mentions using complementary techniques alongside counselling, including Bach flower remedies and Emotional Freedom Technique, whether offered as separate consultations or combined with counselling.
Appointments are presented as collaborative work. The emphasis is on practical conversation and on helping the person decide what changes to try, rather than on labels or quick fixes. People considering help are encouraged to check session options and how the mix of counselling and other approaches would fit their needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sue draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural techniques. ACT helps people clarify their values and practise small actions that match those values, which can aid coping with stress and life changes. Client-centred work focuses on attentive listening and helping people access their own inner resources to make choices. CBT offers practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That plan can change as progress is reviewed, so deciding what suits someone is a collaborative process rather than a one-time choice.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use approaches such as ACT exercises, CBT homework and client-centred conversation without changing the core of the work. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques for remote sessions to help keep therapy practical and focused on everyday problems.
