About Sue

Sue Cassidy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes. She works with worries such as anxiety, stress, addictions and intimacy issues, and supports people dealing with parenting concerns and workplace difficulties. Sue aims to create a space where people can be heard without judgement.

She draws on six years of experience working in charities and health settings, including roles with Cruse and MIND and work within the NHS. That background means she is used to supporting people through loss, trauma and ongoing mental health challenges. Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is noted as BACP.

Sue focuses on building a trusting, warm relationship first. She listens closely and reflects what she hears so people can understand their own situation more clearly. Sessions are collaborative rather than prescriptive, and she encourages clients to find solutions that fit their life.

Her style is practical and person centred. She helps clients break down problems into manageable steps and looks for small, realistic changes that can make a difference. For people struggling with self-esteem, control issues, or communication problems, this approach supports steady progress.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Sue offers steady support while people explore options and decide what feels right for them. If someone thinks she might be a good fit, the next step is to start the matching and scheduling process through the site.

How Sue's approaches shape online counselling

Sue uses Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens deeply and reflects back what they hear, helping people feel understood and clarifying their own thoughts and emotions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes, looking for what already works and building from there.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sue will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions to suit those needs. That collaborative process helps people try different ways of working and adjust what doesn't fit.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available session options before booking as formats are not stated here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when required. Some people also find it simpler to join from a quieter space or to use audio-only if they prefer not to be on camera. Confirm the exact session formats with the service when you book so you know what to expect.
