Su Dunn

Su Dunn is a counsellor with 18 years of experience working with people through difficult life moments. She is BACP credentialed and based in the United Kingdom. Su focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the aftermath of traumatic experiences.

Su aims for practical, straightforward sessions. She listens to what matters most and adapts the approach to each person. Her way of working is respectful and compassionate, and she helps people set manageable steps toward feeling steadier.

Across her career Su has supported people coping with life changes such as separation and divorce, caregiver stress, and midlife transitions. She also works with issues around attachment, loneliness, self-worth and women’s concerns. Sessions often revolve around understanding what is happening now and making small changes that add up.

Her practice emphasises collaboration. Su helps people weigh options, practise new skills, and reflect on patterns that keep causing pain. She encourages realistic goals and checks in about what is and is not helping.

If someone is nervous about starting, Su offers a calm presence and clear steps to begin. The first conversations focus on what feels urgent and what a person hopes to change. From there she and the client plan how to move forward together.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Su works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people recognise unhelpful patterns and try alternative ways of responding; this approach is useful for anxiety, stress and low mood because it breaks problems into manageable steps. Another approach focuses on processing difficult experiences and loss, helping people make sense of what happened and reduce the hold those memories have on daily life.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Su will discuss different methods and decide together which fit someone’s goals, needs and preferences. She adapts the work over time if something is not helping and checks in about progress at regular intervals.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow sessions from familiar surroundings. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler and reduce the need to arrange childcare or commute. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists will explain practical arrangements when you schedule.
