About Sue

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. Sue Cassidy focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She also helps people dealing with anxiety, trauma and parenting difficulties.

Sue draws on client-centred, existential and solution-focused approaches. In sessions she listens without judgement and helps people put words to what they are feeling. She aims to help clients find their own answers rather than giving instructions.

Before working in private practice Sue supported people at Cruse with bereavement and at MIND with a range of mental health problems. She has also provided counselling in workplace settings and for the NHS, which shaped her experience with practical, everyday concerns.

In the room Sue works to build a steady working relationship so clients feel heard. Conversations look at what matters now and what small steps might change things. She uses short-term solution-focused work alongside deeper, meaning-focused conversation when that fits.

People come to her for a wide range of issues including stress, addictions, self-esteem, intimacy and eating concerns. Sue also supports those dealing with ageing and geriatric issues, attachment questions, autism and blended family challenges. Her approach is straightforward and conversational, aimed at helping people manage current problems and decide next steps.

How her approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist reflects what a person says and helps them make sense of their feelings, which can be useful for grief, relationship strain and low mood.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning and choices. It helps when life changes feel overwhelming or when someone is questioning what matters to them. Conversations can explore values, responsibility and how to act on what matters.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps. It helps people identify what is already working and build on it, which can suit stress, coping with change and short-term problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they decide which combination of methods fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online methods. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often offer these practical benefits while adapting pace and focus to a client’s circumstances.
