About Su

Su Dunn is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 18 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. Her experience also covers attachment issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, isolation and questions about life purpose.

She explains things in direct, everyday language and focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions. Conversations commonly include ways to manage strong emotions, cope with loss, and make clearer decisions when life feels uncertain. Sessions look at patterns in relationships and self-image that might be getting in the way of feeling steady day to day.

Su adapts her approach to the person in front of her rather than following one fixed method. She aims to help people understand what is happening for them now and to find ways to move forward that fit their life. Work may include short-term problem solving or longer conversations about values and purpose.

Her background includes almost two decades of client work across the areas listed above. She draws on practical, evidence-based ideas while keeping discussions straightforward and relevant to daily life. People often come when they feel stuck after a change at work, in relationships, or with their health.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Su works with practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at reducing overwhelming feelings and improving everyday functioning. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small changes to see what helps. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and decision-making. Another approach looks at emotions connected to loss and trauma, helping people to name difficult feelings and develop clearer ways to cope with them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. That choice is made collaboratively rather than imposed from the start.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting conversations into a busy week and avoiding travel time. If you need a shorter check-in or something that fits a work break, those options can be discussed. Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking using the See online therapy options button. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions that aim to help people manage stress, grief and life transitions without needing to visit an office.
