About Sue
Sue Aylott is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or the effects of trauma. She works with individuals facing relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction challenges, and shifts in life such as career change or parenting strain. Sue uses a calm, straightforward style to support people who want practical ways to feel steadier and clearer.
She sees each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on strengths already present.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Sue listens, reflects, and helps clients try small changes that make daily life easier. Her work draws on approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of abuse or distressing experiences, Attachment-Based Therapy to look at connection patterns, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
These methods are used as tools, not labels, and are adapted to fit each person's story. Sue holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings ten years of experience supporting people through issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, chronic illness, and codependency.
That experience informs practical suggestions she shares in sessions. Work can include short-term focused plans or a longer, exploratory process, depending on what each person needs. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make it easier to reach support.

How Sue uses therapeutic approaches online
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people look at the effects of distressing events and learn ways to feel safer in day-to-day life. It often involves talking about memories at a pace that suits the person and learning tools to reduce strong reactions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection shapes current bonds. This approach helps people notice how they relate to others and try new ways of being that improve trust and intimacy.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Sue works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client's needs, goals and preferences. She can combine approaches and adjust the plan as therapy unfolds so it feels relevant and doable.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when internet bandwidth is low or when a quieter check-in fits a lunch break. Chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while keeping the focus on progress.
