Sue Aylott
Supportive counsellor for stress and relationships
About Sue
Sue Aylott is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels hard and work out practical next steps. Sue brings ten years of experience and a BACP credential to her work in the United Kingdom.
She believes people carry strengths that help them move through difficult times. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
That can lead to small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Sue uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections.
She uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Her practice also pays attention to issues such as trauma, intimacy, grief, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.
Sue supports people dealing with addictions, body image concerns, chronic illness and complex relational patterns. She aims for straightforward, usable tools rather than technical language. Work with Sue begins by clarifying goals and agreeing a practical plan.
Sessions can include short exercises, reflective conversation and mindfulness practices to calm distress. The aim is to leave people feeling clearer and more able to cope with life changes.

How Sue’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. This helps when someone struggles with trust, fear of abandonment or recurring patterns in close bonds. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what the client finds most important, giving space for people to make sense of their own experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change feelings and behaviour.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. Sue will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and then suggest an approach to try. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan as they go, keeping the work practical and goal-focused.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or when fitting support into a busy day. These options make regular work easier to maintain and allow continuity when in-person meetings are not practical.
