Su Dunn, BACP

Su Dunn is a UK-based therapist with 18 years of professional experience, offering thoughtful and compassionate support to people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. She is a registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), both recognised professional bodies in the United Kingdom. Su approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and a commitment to understanding their individual situation.

Her practice is tailored to the needs of each client, shaping goals and methods around what will be most helpful for the person in front of her. She emphasises collaboration, helping clients take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life while providing steady support throughout the process. With long experience working across a range of emotional and life challenges, Su seeks to create a therapeutic relationship that honours each client’s unique story and pace.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Su aims to make that first step easier by offering a calm, empathetic presence and practical guidance as clients explore change, healing, and personal growth.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Su uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in ways that suit each person’s needs. One core element of her work is evidence-based talking therapies, which focus on exploring thoughts, emotions, and behaviours to build practical coping skills and reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. These approaches are collaborative and goal-oriented, helping people navigate everyday challenges and emotional distress.

Given her experience with trauma and abuse, Su draws on trauma-informed principles that prioritise safety, pacing, and the client’s own resources. This style of work supports people processing difficult memories and learning new ways to manage triggers and emotional responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Su works together with each client to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy with Su is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and levels of comfort. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, stay consistent with care, and fit therapy into a busy life.
