About Sue

Sue Cassidy is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, depression, life changes and anger. She also supports people facing anxiety, trauma and abuse, workplace stress, parenting challenges and issues linked to identity and intimacy.

Sue draws on client-centred ways of working to make space for people to talk and be heard. She focuses on listening without judgement and helping clients find their own solutions. Sue avoids telling people what to do and instead helps them explore choices and next steps.

Her background includes work with Cruse supporting people through bereavement and MIND assisting people with a range of mental health difficulties. She has experience counselling in workplace settings and has worked with NHS services.

In sessions Sue uses practical, straightforward conversation to look at the patterns that keep problems repeating. She will help identify small changes that make everyday life easier. Problem-solving techniques are used alongside reflective discussion when helpful.

Sue pays attention to how relationships and communication affect mood and behaviour. She works with issues such as anger, control problems, commitment concerns and caregiving stress. People come to her to talk through grieving, managing strong feelings, or coping with big life transitions.

How her approaches inform online work

Sue uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. This approach helps when people want time to be heard about relationship strain, grief or anger and to work out their own next steps.

She also uses existential ideas that look at meaning and choice in life. That approach can help when someone is coping with big changes, loss or questions about direction. Solution-focused work is practical and goal-oriented, concentrating on small steps and immediate differences in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sue will discuss these options with clients and decide together what to try based on needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and open to adjustment as the work progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and keeping regular contact without travel. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals like Sue can help arrange a plan that fits into everyday life and responsibilities.
