About Sue
Sue Aylott is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship pain and trauma. She works with adults who are dealing with grief, depression, addictions, parenting strain and difficulties with intimacy. Sue also supports people wrestling with self-esteem, career changes, compassion fatigue and complex concerns such as abandonment, attachment or dissociation.
Sue follows a practical, person-focused style. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns in their thinking, feelings and bodily responses.
Background and approach
She uses talk-based methods alongside attention to how the body holds stress, so people can find new ways to manage strong emotions and physical tension. Her counselling draws on a mix of approaches including somatic therapy, attachment-based techniques, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural methods.
That blend helps people explore roots of recurring problems, practice different responses and try new coping skills between sessions. Sue has ten years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses everyday language in sessions and focuses on small, steady changes that make life more manageable.
People start by sharing their immediate concerns and short-term goals. Over time the work can shift toward deeper patterns such as relationship dynamics, attachment wounds or long-held avoidance. Sue aims to create a calm, focused space so people can build practical tools and clearer self-understanding.
How Sue’s approaches work online and in-session
Sue uses somatic-informed work to help people notice how stress and strong feelings show up in the body. This can include simple grounding exercises and learning to tune into bodily signals that link to anxiety or past trauma.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This helps people understand recurring difficulties in close relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. Sue will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means planning sessions together and adjusting the focus as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible access to this kind of work. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction and somatic exercises, while phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, written ways to reflect between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and continue steady progress from home.
