Su Dunn, BACP

Su Dunn is a counsellor with 18 years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Su keeps her approach warm and respectful and aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

She focuses on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and coping with life changes. Su also helps people facing attachment concerns, caregiver strain, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, and challenges around life purpose and self-love. Women’s issues and midlife transitions are among her additional areas of attention.

In sessions she listens attentively and adapts the pace to what feels manageable. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the difficulty someone brings. Work may include talking through painful memories, building coping skills, or exploring patterns that affect relationships and self-worth.

Su describes the first step as a brave choice and aims to offer steady support while people decide what change looks like for them. She lets people lead the goals and checks in regularly to make sure the work remains helpful.

Sessions are available through a range of online formats and are scheduled to fit around daily life. Practicalities such as session length and frequency are arranged together when someone starts, using a short matching questionnaire and the platform’s scheduling tools.

Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility

Su uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding what has caused distress and on building practical skills to feel more able day to day. One common approach helps people make sense of how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships, working gently through memories and patterns to reduce their hold on daily life. Another approach focuses on developing coping skills such as breathing work, grounding exercises and practical routines to manage anxiety, stress and low mood more effectively.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match each person’s goals, preferences and pace. This collaborative process helps ensure the plan fits how someone wants to be helped rather than imposing a fixed method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and texting can fit around busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy going alongside work, caring duties and other commitments.
