Su Dunn, BACP

Su Dunn is a counsellor with 18 years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member and approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Su aims to tailor sessions to what each person needs and to support them as they take the first steps towards change.

She has worked with many common life problems, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. Su also focuses on questions around attachment, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, and finding life purpose. She offers support for midlife concerns and for people working on self-love and women’s issues.

In sessions she adapts her approach to the individual rather than using a fixed package. That means talking through what matters most to the client and trying practical ways to relieve symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the person’s needs.

People come to her when they want help managing strong emotions or when life changes feel hard to navigate. Su helps break problems into manageable steps and works on clear goals the client sets. She encourages small changes that add up over time.

Su asks people to be patient with the process and to bring honest feedback about what is or isn’t helping. Her experience gives her a wide base of ways to respond, and she will shape the work around each person’s story and goals.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Many of the evidence-based techniques used in counselling involve talking, reflecting and learning new ways to manage feelings. One common approach focuses on practical skills for managing stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding and simple behaviour changes to reduce overwhelm. Another approach looks at processing loss and traumatic experiences slowly, helping people make sense of what happened and find safer ways to feel connected again.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree on what to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as the client’s needs and goals become clearer.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy lives and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments during work breaks or when travel is difficult. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
