Gentle, experienced person-centred counsellor
About Sue
Sue Hutchinson works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and loss, anger, low self-esteem, and trauma. She also supports concerns around eating and sleeping, parenting pressures, career uncertainty, coping with life changes, LGBT issues, family dynamics and self-harm. Sue brings 23 years of experience to her counselling practice in the United Kingdom.
Sue uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening closely and responding to each person as an individual.
Background and approach
She draws on mindfulness techniques to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Sessions are warm and respectful, with an emphasis on practical steps a person can try between meetings. Her style is friendly and gentle.
Sue aims to make conversations straightforward and safe to begin, even when topics feel difficult. She may suggest creative ways of looking at problems when people are open to that, offering an alternative perspective or method to try. Sue believes change can feel scary and uncertain, but that it can also bring new possibilities.
She works at a pace the person sets and focuses on what matters most to them. Over time she helps people notice small shifts that add up to clearer choices and reduced overwhelm. Sessions may include exploring feelings, practising simple mindfulness exercises, and considering everyday actions that support wellbeing.
Sue’s long experience means she is comfortable working with complex issues and with the ups and downs that come with change.

Sessions & fees
Client-centred and mindful support online
Sue uses a client-centred approach that places the person’s experience at the heart of counselling. This means sessions focus on listening carefully, reflecting what matters, and helping people find their own solutions to stress, relationships, grief and life changes.She also draws on mindfulness therapy, teaching simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept up by them. Mindfulness can help reduce reactivity and make daily coping easier when anxiety, anger or low mood feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sue will talk through options and tailor techniques to what the person prefers and needs, adjusting pace and method as the relationship develops. It is a collaborative process where goals and methods are agreed between counsellor and client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travelling, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging allows written reflection over time. These formats make it possible to fit counselling around work, family life and other commitments while using client-centred and mindfulness tools adapted for online work.
