Su Dunn, BACP

Su Dunn is a counsellor with 18 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member and approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Su aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supported.

Su focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people cope with grief, trauma and major life changes. Midlife crisis, life purpose and feelings of isolation are listed areas she addresses.

Her work is tailored to the individual. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs right now, and the goals they want to reach. Su explains things clearly and keeps language simple so conversations are easy to follow.

Over nearly two decades she has supported people through relationship endings, caregiver stress and attachment difficulties. She pays attention to how practical problems and past hurts affect day-to-day life. This helps people take steps that feel realistic and sustainable.

Su encourages small, achievable changes alongside reflective conversations. She will listen closely, offer straightforward feedback and help people find clearer direction. The aim is to help people manage symptoms and move towards a more satisfying routine and sense of purpose.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Many of Su's approaches are evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common technique helps people identify patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going and then try small behavioural experiments to shift those patterns. This is useful for stress, anxiety and daily routines that feel stuck.

Another approach concentrates on processing loss and trauma through gradual, paced conversation and memory work. It aims to reduce the intensity of painful memories and make them less overwhelming in everyday life, which can help with grief and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Su will discuss options with each person, look at current difficulties and goals, and agree on techniques that feel like a good fit. She adapts the work over time as needs and priorities change.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also help people access therapy from their own local area while working with a registered professional.
