About Sue

Sue Walker is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and parenting strains. Her practice also addresses relationship and family concerns alongside grief, eating and mood problems.

Sue focuses on talking through what is most pressing in a few clear steps. She listens to practical details about day-to-day life and helps people spot patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with space to talk about feelings as well as behaviour.

Her background includes work supporting people with motivation and confidence. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to make room for a person’s experience, and she draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and actions that affect mood. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help changing habits such as substance use.

Sue often helps people break down big problems into manageable steps. That might mean setting small goals, practising new ways of coping, or pacing changes so they feel achievable. She encourages regular check-ins so progress can be noticed and plans adjusted.

Conversations are delivered in plain language and aimed at practical outcomes. People who want to address parenting stress, work pressure, or difficult past events will find a direct, pragmatic approach rather than lengthy theory. If you plan to work together, confirm current session options through the online booking flow before scheduling.

How sessions work

How Sue uses her approaches in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to make space for what matters to them. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is said and helps clarify feelings so someone can decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches skills to change thinking patterns that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to increase willingness for change and is useful when someone struggles with habits like substance use or slipping motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will discuss options and try methods together with the client, adjusting the plan to fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods are tested and changed if they do not help.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to choose a quieter moment in a busy day. If you want to book, confirm which session formats are currently offered before arranging the first appointment so you know what to expect.
