Sue Aylott, BACP

Sue Aylott is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and life changes. She works with issues such as trauma, depression, addictions and caregiver stress. Sue believes people bring strengths and knowledge of their own lives, and she offers steady support while clients take steps towards change.

She uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can include talking about attachment patterns that shape relationships, using client-centred listening to make space for what matters, and drawing on cognitive behavioural ideas to try different ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness practices are also offered to help manage difficult feelings in the moment.

With ten years of experience and BACP registration, Sue draws on practical tools alongside reflective conversation. Sessions are aimed at helping people build coping skills and clearer thinking when life feels overwhelming. Sue pays attention to issues like ageing and geriatric matters, caregiver strain, chronic illness and bereavement when these are part of someone’s story.

Her style is calm and collaborative. She invites clients to set goals and to try small changes between sessions. This can include short exercises, simple mindfulness steps or experiments to test new ways of relating.

To begin, people use the platform’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they affect current connections. Online work can be used to identify those patterns and practise new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a kind, non-judgemental space where a person can tell their story and find their own solutions. That approach helps with grief, life transitions and building self-worth. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small experiments to test new responses to stress and anxiety.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Decisions are collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or reducing the need for long commutes. They also allow using written or mindful exercises between meetings to support change.
