About Sue
Sue Hutchinson is a counsellor with 23 years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems and trauma and abuse. She works in a warm, respectful way that aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about. Sue also supports people struggling with self-harm, low self-esteem, sleep or eating issues, parenting strain, career concerns and life changes.
Her approach is client-centred, which means she listens closely and follows what matters to each person.
Background and approach
She brings mindfulness techniques into sessions to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday language rather than clinical terms. Sue often uses gentle creativity when it helps someone see things differently.
That might mean trying a new way of describing a problem or using simple exercises to build helpful habits between sessions. She aims to make therapy practical and relevant to daily life. People work at their own pace and choose what feels safe to share.
Sue focuses on building trust and making room for small steps forward. She explains options clearly and personalises the work to each person's goals. Based in the United Kingdom, Sue holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Client-centred and mindful approaches for online therapy
Sue uses client-centred work to prioritise the person's own view of their difficulties. That approach means the counsellor listens deeply, reflects what matters most, and helps people find their own solutions. It is useful for issues like relationships, self-esteem and coping with life changes.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention practices. These techniques help people notice upsetting thoughts and bodily feelings without getting carried away. Mindfulness can be helpful for anxiety, stress, sleeping difficulties and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Sue works collaboratively to decide what tools and exercises fit each person's goals and preferences, and can adapt the mix of client-centred listening and mindfulness work as things evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or when being on camera isn't wanted, and messaging or chat can be useful for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, family or travel, and make it easier to keep continuity between sessions.
