Su Dunn , BACP

Su Dunn is a counsellor with 18 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Su works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and big life changes. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to create a caring space for difficult conversations.

Su tailors sessions to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She listens for practical patterns that maintain distress and helps people try small, doable changes. Sessions include talking through experiences, noticing how thoughts and feelings affect daily life, and developing coping steps that fit each person’s routine.

Many people consult her about attachment concerns, caregiver stress and the strain of divorce and separation. She also supports those feeling isolated, re-evaluating life purpose, navigating midlife transitions, and building self-love. Women's issues are included among the topics she addresses.

Su draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. She emphasises collaboration so people can choose what feels most helpful. Her warm, straightforward manner helps people pace the work and stay connected to practical goals.

Clients meet by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Su uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage distress and move towards clearer goals. One commonly used approach focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It helps with anxiety, low mood and day-to-day coping by practising small changes and building new routines. Another approach emphasises understanding attachment and relationship patterns. This helps people make sense of repeated difficulties in relating and supports developing more satisfying ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Su treats the choice of method as collaborative and will explore what fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, exploring past experiences, or a mixture of methods that feels most useful.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make sessions easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for richer interaction. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit short reflections, written processing and people who prefer typing over speaking. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain therapy alongside work and family commitments.
