About Sue

Sue Hunter is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years' experience. She offers person-centred work and helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addictions and codependency. Sessions also cover practical life concerns such as sleep, eating, career pressures and parenting strain.

Sue uses a person-centred approach that trusts each person to find their own answers. She combines this with other methods to suit what someone brings to the room. Conversations focus on how a person sees themselves, and how they relate to others and to difficult situations.

In practice she helps people build self-awareness so they can make clearer choices. That may mean talking through ways to set limits, handle intense emotions, or respond differently to recurring patterns. She also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and control problems.

Sue is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapists (BACP) and a Senior Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society (NCS). She also practises Emotional Freedom Technique often called EFT or tapping, which she offers as a standalone consultation or alongside counselling.

Outside talk-based work Sue offers Bach flower consultations and personalised remedies. These are described as a complementary natural approach and can be posted to a client's home for an additional cost. Sue aims to help people gain clarity about what matters to them and to develop practical ways forward.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches online and how they work

Sue combines person-centred counselling with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy. ACT focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, and it can help with anxiety, avoidance and repeated unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help when someone struggles with trust, abandonment fears or intense closeness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client talk together about what feels most useful and try methods that fit the person's goals and style. That collaborative process guides whether to emphasise ACT skills, attachment understanding or a gentler person-centred focus.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into a busy life - they can be easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If someone prefers tapping or Bach flower consultations, Sue can discuss how those sessions might be arranged alongside counselling.
