About Sue
Counsellor Sue Morton is BACP registered and has three years' experience. She works with people in the UK on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationships, depression and ADHD.
Sue welcomes people from a wide range of backgrounds and genders. The biography notes experience with the LGBTQIA+ community and with people who identify as neurodivergent. She aims to listen and help clients make sense of their thoughts and feelings.
In sessions she focuses on understanding the internal world and patterns that sustain difficult feelings. She helps people name what they are feeling and consider small changes that can reduce distress. Conversations are practical and reflective rather than theoretical.
Sue draws on her own lived experience alongside her BACP registration. That perspective informs how she approaches issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. She aims to help people notice repeated patterns and consider new ways of responding.
She also works with a wider range of issues including abandonment, attachment difficulties, family problems, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, loneliness, midlife concerns and sexual issues. People who choose to work with her complete an initial matching step and then arrange a first session to begin practical work.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling can work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques aim to help people understand and change the patterns that keep them feeling anxious or low. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is practical and often involves trying small experiments between sessions to build confidence.Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment. It explores how early experiences and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour, and it helps people find different ways of relating to themselves and others. This can be useful for relationship concerns, attachment worries and feelings of abandonment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree what to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs and goals become clearer.
If you are considering online counselling, check which session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. It can also let people choose audio-only or video depending on what feels most practical, but confirm the exact options available when you book.
