About Su
Su Dunn is a counsellor with 18 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress and anxiety. Her approach is grounded in respect and sensitivity, and she aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.
She works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression.
Background and approach
Su also supports those navigating major life changes such as separation, caring responsibilities, midlife transitions and questions about life purpose. She pays attention to attachment issues and the loneliness that can follow big changes. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a fixed formula.
Su listens first to understand what matters most, then suggests ways to cope that fit the person's life. That might include learning small practical skills to reduce stress or ways of thinking that ease anxious moments. Su describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative.
She aims to create space where people can talk honestly about hard things and try out different ways of managing them. Progress can be gradual, and she works at a pace people find tolerable. Her practice is suited to people who want straightforward, compassionate support while they rebuild or change aspects of their life.
People often come with immediate concerns like anxiety or grief and stay to work on longer term goals such as self-love and life direction.
Evidence-based approaches and online working
Su uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One common approach is practical skills training that teaches ways to manage anxiety and stress in day-to-day life, such as breathing strategies and short behavioural experiments. These methods aim to reduce overwhelm and help people feel steadier in difficult moments.Another approach focuses on processing grief and trauma through paced, supportive conversations. This work helps people make sense of painful events, gradually reduce their intensity, and find ways to carry on with daily life. It is suited to those facing loss, past abuse, or upsetting memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different options and choose methods together based on the person’s goals, needs and preferences. The client and therapist decide the pace and what to try next in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and everyday life.
