Sue Hunter, BACP, NCPS

Sue Hunter is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationship issues and everyday patterns of thinking and behaviour. She offers a calm, accepting space for people to talk without judgement and to work through problems like grief, depression, addiction and parental strain. Sue aims to help people increase self-awareness and regain a sense of control over daily life.

She practices person-centred counselling and draws on several approaches to suit the person in front of her. That means conversations are shaped around each client’s needs, with an emphasis on listening, understanding and honesty. Sue also uses elements of cognitive approaches to help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships are the focus.

Her background includes 12 years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and Senior Accreditation with the National Counselling Society (NCS). She also trains and uses Emotional Freedom Technique, often called tapping, alongside counselling when appropriate.

Sue works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar, eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic pain and caregiver stress. She can offer Bach flower consultations as a complementary holistic option for emotional balance when clients wish to include that in their care.

People who meet Sue can expect a straightforward, gentle approach that helps them notice thinking and habit patterns and try new ways of coping. She supports clients to make choices that fit their lives and values.

Approaches that shape online counselling conversations

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and content of work, helping them find their own answers and feel more in control.

Sue blends these approaches with other methods so the therapeutic plan fits each person. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try things out and adjust methods as work progresses. The aim is to find what helps someone notice and change unhelpful thinking and everyday habits.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer phone or video work because it lets them meet from a quieter place or fit a session into a lunch break, while others favour combining talking therapy with practical techniques like tapping or Bach flower consultations. Ask about current format choices when you arrange your first appointment.
