Sue Hutchinson, BACP

Sue Hutchinson is an accredited counsellor with 23 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, anger, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting pressures, career concerns and depression. Sue also provides focused support around self-harm and helping people cope with life changes.

Sue uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client at the heart of the process. She aims to be warm, respectful and down-to-earth in sessions. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what feels manageable for each person.

Mindfulness is part of her approach when it feels helpful. Simple attention and breathing practices may be used to reduce overwhelm and help people notice their thoughts and feelings without judgement. Creative options are also available for those who prefer a less verbal route.

Sue believes every person is unique and brings their own strengths to therapy. She encourages small, practical steps that can shift day-to-day life. Change can feel daunting, and she aims to offer calm support while people try new ways of coping.

Sessions focus on what matters now and on clear, realistic goals. The tone is collaborative and gentle, with space to reflect and try different ways of responding to difficulties. Sue works from the United Kingdom and supports clients in English.

How Sue's approaches translate to online therapy

Sue uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the individual's experience and priorities. This means sessions start by listening carefully to what matters most and then working at a pace the client finds comfortable. It suits people wanting a supportive, non-judgemental space to talk through concerns and set practical goals.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques in sessions. These are simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce overwhelm and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sue will discuss options and help decide whether person-centred conversation, mindfulness exercises or some creative tasks might be most helpful. That choice is made collaboratively, based on the client's needs, goals and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to meet from different locations. Practical benefits include reduced travel time, the option for shorter check-ins if needed, and easier access for people living farther away.
