About Sue
Sue Aylott is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression and issues related to identity and intimacy. She brings a calm, patient presence and aims to help people find clearer ways forward. Sue believes people know their own stories and can use their strengths to make changes.
She uses a mix of approaches that match each person's needs, including work drawn from attachment thinking, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural ideas.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens, reflects and helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. Practical steps and small experiments are used alongside talking to build new ways of coping. With ten years of experience and BACP registration Sue works with a wide range of concerns such as grief, parenting strain, addiction, self-esteem and career-related stress.
She also offers support around abandonment, attachment difficulties and issues related to adoption and foster care. People affected by chronic illness, caregiving responsibilities or compassion fatigue are within her stated focus areas. Sue is able to speak English and works with people across adult life stages.
She does not accept international clients at this time, and session arrangements should be checked before booking. Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.
This helps match expectations before the first meeting.

How Sue's approaches fit with online work
Sue draws on attachment-based ideas which look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and responses; this approach can help with relationship strain, grief and patterns of closeness. Client-centred work focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person in front of her, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural techniques provide simple, practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments to change day-to-day routines.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Sue aims to work together with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can be adapted as issues change or new priorities emerge.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life, and they allow shorter check-ins or meetings without travel. When you first get in touch, the matching questionnaire and scheduling step will clarify how sessions will be arranged and what to expect.
