About Sue
Sue Hutchinson is a counsellor with 23 years of practice helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship issues and changes in life. She also supports those facing anger, sleeping or eating problems, parenting strains, career uncertainty, trauma and abuse, and difficulties linked to LGBT and family concerns.
Sue is BACP-registered, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sue aims to make the first sessions calm and straightforward.
Background and approach
She listens without rushing and helps clients name the main worries. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small changes might make daily life easier. Her way of working is warm and respectful.
She uses a client-centred approach, which means the person's own experience guides the work. Mindfulness techniques are included where they might help to manage stress or to notice and regulate strong emotions. Sue may offer creative options when people want them, such as using different ways to reflect on feelings and choices.
She encourages people to try things that feel useful and to pause what doesn’t help. Progress is treated as a series of small steps rather than sudden fixes. Sessions focus on practical coping, clearer choices and building on what already works.
People are invited to set achievable goals and to review them as their needs change. The aim is to help people feel more able to cope and to move forward at their own pace.

How Sue works online
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, bodily feelings and strong emotions without getting swept away by them. These practices can reduce stress, improve sleep and support emotional balance when facing grief or low mood.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Sue will work with you to identify goals and try techniques that suit your needs and preferences. If something doesn’t help, the plan can be adjusted over time so you feel involved in shaping the sessions.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online or in-person formats before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, for example by removing travel time or making it easier to have short check-ins during a lunch break. Others prefer a slower paced exploration. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and workable around daily demands, with the therapist and client reviewing what works best.
