Sue Walker, BACP

Sue uses client-centred therapy to create a listening space where people can speak without judgement and feel heard. This approach focuses on understanding the person’s experience and helping them find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to try practical experiments that change day-to-day routines. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and some relationship or stress problems.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. It helps uncover personal reasons to change and build small steps that feel achievable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sue discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adapts methods to fit the person. The therapy process is collaborative and built around the individual’s needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or use less bandwidth, and live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caring duties or other commitments and to choose the format that feels most manageable.
