   About Sue

   Sue Walker is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, motivation and life changes. Sue presents a calm, practical presence for people looking for a place to talk things through and find clearer next steps.

   Sue holds BACP, which indicates her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns, including depression, grief, body image and mood disorders. Sessions are offered in English and she can work with international clients.

   Her approach draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a non-judgemental space and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of feeling better. These methods are used together to suit each person’s situation.

   In sessions Sue aims to be practical and encouraging. She listens and helps set small, achievable goals. Work may include talking through past hurts, building coping strategies, or planning steps to reduce use of substances or unhelpful patterns.

   To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

2. How Sue’s approaches translate to online support

   Sue uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build motivation one step at a time. This method suits worries about addiction, low motivation and making lifestyle shifts. Client-Centred Therapy is about offering steady, non-judgemental listening so people can talk through feelings and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting thought patterns and trying practical changes to behaviour that reduce anxiety or low mood.
   
   Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then agree a collaborative plan. That plan can shift over time as goals change and progress is made.
   
   The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when appropriate. The focus is on making therapy practical and workable for everyday life while using the approaches above to guide the process.
