About Sue Hunter
Sue Hunter is a counsellor based in West Cumbria, United Kingdom, who brings a thoughtful, person-centred approach to therapeutic work. With a focus on deep acceptance, genuine engagement, and careful understanding, she creates an environment where people can explore difficult feelings and life challenges without judgment. Her practice emphasizes trust in each person’s own resources and capacity to move toward a more fulfilling way of living, helping clients build greater self-awareness and personal agency.
Sue works in an integrative, holistic way that draws on client-centred principles alongside other evidence-informed methods to suit individual needs. She supports people through a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, addiction and mood difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and carer stress, and adjustments to major life changes. She aims to help clients understand how they relate to the world and themselves so they can make clearer choices and reclaim a sense of control over daily life.

She also incorporates complementary options into her work, offering Bach flower remedies and consultations in Emotional Freedom Technique - sometimes known as tapping - which can be used alongside counselling or as separate therapies. Wherever someone is in their healing journey, Sue seeks to provide steady, empathetic support tailored to individual needs and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Sue uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s experience guides the work; this approach helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, in Sue’s practice, focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour and developing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying their values and learning to accept difficult emotions while taking committed steps toward a more meaningful life.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Sue works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so that therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical, and they can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while still receiving professional support.
