Sue Hunter , BACP, NCPS

Sue Hunter offers person-centred counselling from her practice in West Cumbria, United Kingdom, combining a compassionate presence with practical, integrative tools to support people through difficult life moments. She believes that most people, at various times, encounter challenges that are hard to share with friends and family, and she provides a listening, nonjudgmental space where clients can be understood and accepted as they are.

Sue’s approach is rooted in person-centred philosophy, which trusts each person’s inner resources and capacity for growth. Working integratively, she blends humanistic counselling with complementary modalities so clients can explore how they relate to themselves and the world. This process aims to increase self-awareness, self-acceptance, and the ability to make choices that lead to a more satisfying life.

Alongside counselling, Sue draws on holistic remedies and evidence-informed techniques to enhance wellbeing. She is a Registered Bach Practitioner and can offer personalised Bach flower consultations and remedies as a standalone option or combined with counselling, with an additional cost for posted remedies. She is also a fully trained Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner - often referred to as tapping - which can help address repeated patterns that limit progress.

Sue is a member of professional bodies, holding BACP and NCPS credentials, which reflect her commitment to recognised standards in counselling practice. She aims to support each client with honesty, acceptance, and a genuine therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches for Supportive Online Care

Sue frequently uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where clients lead the conversation and their own growth. This approach helps people develop greater self-understanding, self-acceptance, and confidence to make choices that align with their values.

She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques, including tapping, to help people work with strong emotions and patterns that keep them stuck. EFT can be useful for addressing anxiety, trauma-related responses, and repeated relational or behavioural patterns.

Attachment-based ideas may inform Sue’s work when relationship patterns and early connections are relevant to a client’s concerns. Exploring attachment can clarify how someone relates to others and to themselves, which supports healing in areas like relationships, abandonment, and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sue works with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy with Sue is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support without the need to travel, helping clients maintain continuity of care around work, family, and daily life.
