Sue Hunter , BACP, NCPS

Sue Hunter offers person-centred counselling from her practice in West Cumbria, United Kingdom, where she supports people navigating difficult periods and life transitions. She believes that many individuals benefit from an empathic listener who accepts them without judgement and helps them explore their own inner resources. Her therapeutic stance emphasizes genuine presence, honesty, and a deep wish to understand each person - qualities she sees as central to a supportive and sometimes challenging counselling relationship.

Working in an integrative, holistic way, Sue trusts that clients have the capacity to move toward more fulfilling ways of living when given space for self-exploration. She helps clients develop greater self-awareness of how they relate to themselves and to the world, which can create more choice and personal agency in everyday life. Her practice combines person-centred principles with complementary approaches to meet individual needs.

Sue is a registered member of BACP and holds accreditation with NCPS, both professional UK counselling bodies. In addition to talking therapy she offers consultations in Bach flower remedies as a Registered Bach Practitioner (BFRP) and provides Emotional Freedom Technique sessions - sometimes called tapping - which can be used on their own or alongside counselling. Bach remedies can be prepared and posted to a client at an additional cost. Sue aims to support each person in the most suitable way for their healing journey.

Approaches guided online - person-centred and process-focused care

Sue draws on client-centred therapy, which centers on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach supports greater self-awareness and helps people find their own direction when facing stress, relationship difficulties, or life changes.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a practical approach that helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and focus on values-based actions. ACT can be especially useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with ongoing challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sue works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as those needs evolve. Therapists often combine techniques to match what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support around work, family, and other commitments. These remote formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing care and to tailor the pace and style of sessions to each client.
