Sue Aylott, BACP

Sue Aylott works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She focuses on everyday worries like stress, anxiety, low mood and difficulties with intimacy. Sue aims to make sessions feel approachable and straightforward for a worried parent reading on a phone.

Sue sees practical steps as part of therapy. She listens first, then helps people spot patterns that cause pain. Conversations are grounded and plain, not full of jargon. She encourages small changes that fit into daily life.

Her background includes ten years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated BACP. That experience informs how she responds to trauma, grief and addiction issues. She also works with concerns such as compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

Sue draws on a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-informed thinking to understand relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioural ideas help when unhelpful thoughts and behaviours need shifting. Client-centred ways of working keep the conversation led by the person in front of her.

Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging, so people can pick what fits their routine. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Sue supports people who want a steady, practical approach to change.

How Sue’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sue uses attachment-informed ways of working to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when people notice repeated cycles in intimacy, trust or boundary issues and want to understand why they keep happening.

She also draws on client-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. That helps conversations feel guided by the client’s priorities rather than a rigid agenda. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical experiments that change everyday behaviour.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. Sue will discuss goals, try ideas in session and adjust methods as work progresses. That collaborative way means therapy can shift if someone wants a different focus or pace.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between meetings. These options help fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy family life.
