Sue Walker, BACP

Sue Walker focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or struggles with addiction. She welcomes conversations about self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Sue aims to make the first steps less daunting by offering calm, non-judgemental support.

Sue uses a straightforward, people-focused style in sessions. She creates space for clients to talk about difficult experiences including trauma and abuse so feelings can be named and understood. The emphasis is on listening and on working with the client’s own goals.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person’s experience central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to look at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing helps when people are finding change difficult or when they want to increase commitment to recovery.

Sue has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She practises in the United Kingdom and sees people in English. International clients are also accepted, so distance does not rule out contact.

Sessions are shaped around what each person needs and the priorities they bring. Sue supports work on relationship worries, grief, family tensions, eating and body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, anger and life-stage changes. She invites people to take manageable steps towards feeling steadier and more in control.

How Sue’s approaches work online and in sessions

Sue uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the person’s experience at the heart of every conversation, offering acceptance and empathy while the client explores what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that feed anxiety, low mood or addictive behaviours. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by building motivation and practical next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sue will talk with each client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. This makes it easier to choose techniques that suit the person rather than shoehorning them into one method.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats Sue currently offers before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or long distances and can reduce travel time. It may also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions without video when bandwidth or comfort is a consideration. Registered or accredited professionals like Sue aim to make therapy fit everyday life while keeping the focus on practical, collaborative progress.
