Sue Aylott, BACP

Sue Aylott is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, intimacy-related issues and depression. She offers steady support for grief, parenting challenges, career worries and coping with life changes. Sue also works with those affected by trauma, addictions and compassion fatigue, and with people questioning identity and sexuality within LGBT contexts.

Sue believes clients are the experts on their own lives and brings a respectful, listening-based style to sessions. She draws on ten years of professional experience and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This underpins a practical, person-focused way of working rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and practical cognitive behavioural techniques. These methods are used to help people understand patterns, manage distressing thoughts and build healthier ways of relating. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness.

Sue also draws on Imago relationship ideas when relationship dynamics are part of the concern, helping people notice how early patterns affect current interactions. She supports those dealing with complex losses, abandonment issues, body image difficulties and long-term health challenges, adapting the pace to each person.

To start, Sue asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to availability. The service uses a cancellable subscription model for sessions, and sessions are conducted in English.

How Sue’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on the ways early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions can help people recognise patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating within conversations and exercises. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre, offering empathetic listening and reflection to help clients find their own solutions; this approach suits a gentle, talk-based online setting. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, such as thought records and behavioural experiments that can be reviewed together in sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sue will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean focusing more on calming skills, exploring relationship patterns, or practising small changes between sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the provided information, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by avoiding travel and allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work. It can also make shorter, focused check-ins simpler when a brief conversation will help. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists working this way, often tailor timing and tools so therapy can fit into daily routines rather than becoming an extra burden.
