About Sue
Sue Hutchinson is a counsellor with 23 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, relationships and parenting concerns. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, anger, sleep and eating difficulties, trauma and abuse, and has an additional focus on self-harm. Sue brings a calm, respectful presence and a straightforward style that many find easy to talk to.
Her approach is person-centred, which means conversations are guided by the client's needs and pace.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Sessions are conversational and practical, not filled with jargon. Sue believes change can feel scary and confusing.
She helps people break larger problems into small, manageable steps. That can mean trying short exercises between sessions or experimenting with new ways of coping at home. Where useful, Sue offers creative options to open up different ways of seeing a problem.
These are gentle activities designed to help people find fresh perspectives rather than formal art therapy programmes. The emphasis is on what works for each person in everyday life. Clients can expect a warm, down-to-earth conversation focused on realistic goals.
Sue aims to help people build skills for coping with life changes and to notice gradual progress. She practices in the United Kingdom and works in English.

How Sue uses person-centred and mindfulness work online
Sue draws on person-centred practice, which focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the client. That means sessions online start with the person’s priorities and move at a pace that feels right for them. This approach helps with relationship worries, grief and building self-esteem.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people become more aware of thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them. Simple mindfulness exercises can reduce rumination and help with anxiety, sleep problems and stress. These practices are short and practical, suitable for trying between online sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Sue will work collaboratively to test what helps, adapting conversations and techniques to match each person's goals and preferences. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video is good for deeper conversations, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and messaging fits quick check-ins or short daily support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
