About Sue

Sue Hunter is a person-centred counsellor practising in West Cumbria, United Kingdom, with 12 years of professional experience. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult periods and begin to make sense of how they relate to themselves and others. Sue emphasises deep acceptance, a genuine desire to understand, and honesty within the therapeutic relationship as the foundations for change.

Sue works in an integrative, holistic way that trusts each person’s inner resources to find their own answers. Her approach supports clients to develop greater self-awareness and clearer understanding of how they interact with the world, which can empower them to make choices that fit their values and goals. She blends person-centred principles with practical tools to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, and other life challenges.

Sue holds professional memberships and accreditation (BACP, NCPS) and combines talking therapy with complementary methods when appropriate. She is a Registered Bach Practitioner and offers consultations and customised Bach flower remedies that can be used alone or alongside counselling, with remedies available by post for an additional cost. She is also a fully trained Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner - often called "tapping" - and can integrate tapping sessions into counselling to help address repetitive patterns that limit progress. Wherever a client is in their healing journey, Sue aims to offer compassionate, tailored support.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Sue draws on client-centred principles to create a compassionate, accepting space where the client's own insight and choices are central. This approach helps people explore their feelings and develop self-awareness, which can be useful for a wide range of issues including stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships. EFT can be especially helpful for couples work and for individuals who want to understand attachment patterns and improve emotional regulation.

Sue may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to help clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility, supporting progress when facing anxiety, depression, or difficult life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Sue collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the relationship develops so therapy remains responsive and client-led.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible by live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to manage appointments around work, family, and mobility needs, while allowing clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from their own location.
