Sue Aylott, BACP

Sue Aylott BACP welcomes people who are worrying about relationships, jealousy, anxiety, stress or low mood. She writes plainly and works with clients who want clearer communication, steadier emotional responses and better ways to cope with tough life events. Sue aims to make starting therapy a straightforward step rather than a big leap.

Sue follows a client-centred way of working that treats the person as the expert in their own life. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current reactions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical changes to thoughts and behaviours will help reduce distress.

Her style is conversational and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what matters right now, and on small changes that people can try between meetings. Sue encourages mindful practices to manage overwhelming feelings and to build moments of calm into busy days.

She has ten years of experience in the counselling field and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sue works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, addictions, grief, parenting pressures and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. International clients are not currently accepted. Prospective clients are asked to follow the platform start process to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange their first booking.

How Sue’s approaches can work online

Sue uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person's experience and what they want to change; this approach focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and can be useful for people struggling with jealousy, trust or intimacy problems.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. It can help reduce anxiety and manage mood by building small, testable changes into daily life. Sue often combines these approaches to match what feels most useful for the individual.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. That discussion shapes whether more exploratory, relational work or focused behavioural tasks feel best.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, reduce commute time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflective work and practical CBT tasks to an online setting so the work fits everyday life.
