Sue Hunter , BACP, NCPS

Sue Hunter offers person-centred counselling from a practice in West Cumbria, UK, combining a warm, nonjudgemental presence with a commitment to genuine, honest therapeutic work. She creates a space where people can explore difficult feelings and life challenges when talking to family or friends does not feel enough. Her practice emphasizes deep acceptance, attentive understanding, and an honest therapeutic relationship to help clients feel heard and supported.

Person-centred counselling underpins her work, rooted in the belief that individuals possess inner resources to move toward a more satisfying way of living. Working integratively and holistically, she helps clients increase self-awareness and understand how they relate to the world, which can support clearer choices and greater personal agency. Her approach aims to empower clients to identify their own directions and make changes that feel authentic.

Alongside counselling, she offers consultations in complementary modalities that can be used on their own or integrated with therapy. She provides Bach flower remedy consultations and can prepare individual remedies that may be posted to a client for an additional cost. She is also trained in Emotional Freedom Technique, often called tapping, and can include it within a session or offer it as a separate appointment to address persistent patterns that may limit progress.

Sue is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds senior accreditation with the National Counselling Society. These qualifications reflect professional registration and recognised standards of practice within the counselling field.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship that helps clients explore their feelings and values at their own pace. It supports people who want to build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem, and make choices that feel true to themselves.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationship patterns influence emotional responses and interpersonal difficulties. It can be helpful for those working through attachment issues, relationship struggles, separation, or patterns of closeness and distance in relationships.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and shifting emotional responses that sustain unhelpful patterns. It is often used to address intense emotional experiences and relational patterns, helping clients access new ways of experiencing and expressing feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps shape a tailored plan that can change as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for busy lives and varied needs. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals and therapists in ways that fit an individual's schedule and comfort level.
