Sue Walker , BACP

Sue Walker helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the next step. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem and low confidence. Sue works with people dealing with life changes, grief and mood difficulties. She is based in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.

Sue uses a straightforward, person-centred style in sessions. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change and practical ways to get there.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and behaving. Motivational interviewing influences her work with people who are ambivalent about change, for example around addictions or lifestyle shifts.

Sue has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. That background shapes a practical and steady approach to common problems like stress, depression and relationship strain. She can help clients explore their values and set realistic short‑term goals.

Work with Sue commonly starts by identifying one or two immediate concerns. From there she and the client agree small, manageable steps to try between sessions. The emphasis is on collaboration, clear language and building confidence to cope with day‑to‑day challenges.

How Sue's approaches work online

Sue uses client‑centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide online sessions. Client‑centred work means the conversation is shaped by the person's priorities, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and support. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviour and then try practical experiments to change them.

Motivational interviewing is often used when someone feels unsure about change. It focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change and building motivation step by step. Together these approaches can suit problems such as anxiety, addictions, low self‑esteem and coping with life changes. Sue will discuss which methods feel right and adapt the approach to the person's goals in a collaborative way.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are useful for face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well for shorter check‑ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text‑based messaging allow frequent, brief contact and can fit into a busy week. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and day‑to‑day life while still accessing the same therapeutic methods overseen by registered or accredited professionals.
