Sue Walker offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters to each person. Sue aims to make it easier to talk about painful experiences and to take small steps towards feeling better.

She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her work includes helping people cope with addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing grief, relationship and family difficulties, and struggles with body image or eating issues. Sue draws on client-centred therapy to follow what clients bring to session and to build a respectful, non-judgemental space. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice how thoughts, feelings and actions link and to try practical changes.

Motivational interviewing is used to help people find reasons to change and to strengthen commitment to goals. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the individual. Sue works with concerns such as anger, caregiver stress, chronic illness, control issues, divorce, domestic violence, substance misuse, isolation, career questions and life purpose.

She focuses on what can be done now, alongside understanding past hurts. Therapy is offered in English from the United Kingdom and international clients are accepted. Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sue's approaches work online

Sue uses client-centred therapy to follow each person's priorities and to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where concerns can be named. This approach helps when someone needs time to be heard and to set the pace for change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioural experiments. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, stress and problems that keep repeating. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or unsure about change; it helps people clarify their reasons for change and build confidence to act.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan with each person based on their goals, preferences and life circumstances. The choice of methods is collaborative and can evolve as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
