About Sue
Sue Hunter is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. She offers calm, non-judgemental listening and practical support for day-to-day struggles. Her style is plain and direct, so conversations stay focused on what matters to the client.
Sue uses a person-centred stance that trusts each person’s own resources. She combines that with approaches such as existential thinking and cognitive tools to help people understand their choices and values.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at increasing self-awareness and helping clients decide what matters next. Her work covers common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also addresses issues such as eating, sleeping problems, addiction, anger, self-esteem and workplace stress.
Additional focuses include attachment issues, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and feelings of emptiness or shame. 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 draws on 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom and blends talking therapy with optional complementary methods when appropriate.
Alongside counselling, Sue can offer Bach flower remedy consultations and Emotional Freedom Technique - commonly called tapping - as standalone sessions or combined with talking therapy. These are offered as complementary options for clients who want a broader, holistic approach to their wellbeing. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or messaging to suit different needs.
New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions via the Start Therapy button.

Online support
How Sue blends talking therapy with online sessions
Sue works from a person-centred base and often draws on Existential Therapy to help people examine meaning, choice and personal values. Existential ideas can be useful for anyone facing big life changes, emptiness or questions about direction. They encourage honest reflection about what matters now.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match one’s values. ACT can help when anxiety, low mood or avoidance are getting in the way. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence in her work and looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help with communication problems, trust issues and problems that repeat in close relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods suit them best. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people see each other for fuller interaction, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat can fit into busy schedules or be used between sessions. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and travel commitments.
