About Sue

Sue Aylott helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficult life changes. She works with individuals dealing with relationship challenges, trauma and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain and issues around self-esteem and identity. Sue uses clear, down-to-earth language and gentle encouragement to help people take small, practical steps forward.

Sue sees therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s experience leads the work. She listens for patterns that cause distress and helps people try different ways of thinking and relating.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build more helpful habits, improve communication and repair attachment wounds. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and practical cognitive behavioural techniques. Mindfulness is used to help people stay present and manage difficult emotions.

For relationship difficulties she draws on Imago relationship concepts to improve understanding and connection between partners when that is part of a person’s goals. Sue has a decade of experience working in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients.

Therapy is offered online by video call, telephone, live chat or text-based messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions that fit their schedule. Sue aims to make sessions practical, respectful and focused on things that will help in day-to-day life.

Ways of working Sue names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Sue’s approaches work in online sessions

Sue uses attachment-based ideas to understand how past relationships shape current patterns. This helps when someone struggles with feeling distant, fearful of closeness or repeating negative relationship cycles. Client-centred therapy provides a space where the person’s own experience guides each session, with the counsellor offering empathetic listening and gentle reflection. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sue will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your needs. The plan can change as you progress, so the process is collaborative and flexible rather than fixed from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video call, telephone, live chat and text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let you see facial cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins and people who prefer typing. These options allow regular contact, practical scheduling and different ways to work depending on what feels most manageable.
