Su Dunn

Su Dunn is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 18 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and the practical strains of life change. Su also focuses on attachment issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, isolation and questions about life purpose.

Her approach is straightforward. Sessions are used to talk through what feels most urgent. She helps people break concerns down into manageable steps and looks at how feelings affect daily choices. That plain focus can make decisions feel less overwhelming.

Su has a long track record of supporting people through loss and big changes. She pays attention to patterns in relationships and the ways old experiences continue to affect present life. Conversations may include reflecting on past events, spotting repeated habits, and planning small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping.

Practical matters are part of the work. She will discuss what a typical session looks like, how often to meet, and what people can try between sessions. This includes short, realistic tasks that fit into a busy life.

People who book a first session complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their initial meeting. Su aims to be direct and reliable in sessions, helping clients examine options and make clearer choices about what to try next.

Therapeutic methods and online sessions

Su works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on feelings, behaviour and relationships. One common approach looks at how past attachment experiences shape current relationships and emotional responses, helping people spot repeated patterns and try new ways of interacting. Another approach focuses on practical behavioural work - identifying small actions to change day-to-day routines and reduce anxiety or low mood. These methods are used to address grief, stress and life changes in clear, stepwise ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods with clients and choose what fits best according to their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may be adjusted as the work develops.

Confirm available online session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. They also let people try talking without needing to be away from home for long, which can help maintain regular contact while managing everyday responsibilities.
