About Sue

Sue Cassidy is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with people facing relationship troubles, family conflict, grief and loss, depression, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strains and workplace problems.

Sue draws on client-centred ways of working to make space for people to speak about what matters most. She listens without judgement and aims to help people feel heard. Her style is collaborative rather than directive - she does not tell clients what to do but helps them find their own answers.

In practice she combines client-centred methods with existential ideas that look at meaning, choice and responsibility. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps that can ease day-to-day stress. Sessions are conversational and grounded in the client's experience rather than long lectures about theory.

Sue has worked with Cruse supporting bereavement and with Mind on a range of mental health concerns. She has counselling experience in workplace settings and has worked with NHS services, bringing a variety of practical perspectives to clinical work.

People often come to her when life feels stuck after a change in work, relationship or health. She helps them talk through feelings, clarify priorities and try manageable ways of moving forward. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the online matching route to book an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting back what a person says, helping them feel understood and clarifying their own priorities. This approach suits people who need space to speak about relationships, grief or changes in life. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility and can help when someone is wondering what comes next after a major change. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical steps and experiments that can reduce stress and make daily life more manageable.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work together. Sue considers the person's goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she collaborates with them to try different ways of working. That means the method can shift over time as needs become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family and job commitments, avoid travel, or have a shorter check-in when time is limited. It can also allow people to use quieter surroundings or turn off the camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, commonly find these practical benefits help integrate therapy into everyday life.
