Sue Aylott, BACP

Sue Aylott is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with clients dealing with trauma, intimacy concerns, grief and addictions. Sue also supports people coping with parenting strain, career change and compassion fatigue. She brings a calm, practical approach and aims to empower each person she meets.

Her view is that clients are the experts in their own lives. She uses that as a starting point and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and honest conversation rather than jargon. Sue aims to make therapy feel like a useful part of day-to-day life.

Over a decade in the field has given her experience with a wide range of issues. Her work includes attachment-related concerns, body image and chronic illness, as well as codependency and communication problems. She also pays attention to matters such as adoption and foster care, abandonment and ageing and geriatric issues.

Sue draws on several established approaches to suit different needs. She uses elements of attachment-based work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, Imago relationship ideas and mindfulness practices. These are mixed to match each person rather than applied as a fixed package.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How Sue’s approaches translate to online work

Sue uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening to help people feel heard and understood. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and can help with trust, intimacy and repeated relationship difficulties. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping clients find their own solutions.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. These approaches are chosen together with the client so the work matches what matters most to them.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try methods that fit. This collaborative way helps people see which techniques feel most helpful for their situation.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It can also let people choose a quieter environment for talking or avoid being on camera if they prefer.
