About Sue

Sue Cassidy works with relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, depression and life changes. She uses a client-led style and draws on client-centred, existential and solution-focused approaches. Sue is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' experience.

Sue listens to what matters to the person in front of her and responds without judgement. Sessions focus on helping people talk through what is troubling them, identify practical steps and notice different ways of understanding their situation. She does not give directives about life choices but encourages people to find answers that fit their circumstances.

Past roles include supporting people with grief at Cruse and working with a range of mental health concerns at MIND. She has also counsellled in work-based settings and for the NHS, which has given experience across bereavement, anxiety, trauma and workplace issues.

Sue works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and intimacy problems. She also supports people with parenting, eating and self-esteem difficulties and longer-term conditions such as bipolar and ADHD where people seek therapeutic support.

Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, attachment and autism spectrum concerns, blended family and fatherhood issues, fertility and caregiver stress. Sessions aim to help people improve communication, manage conflict and take practical steps towards the changes they want.

How these approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they feel heard and can explore their own solutions; it helps with relationship issues, low mood and self-esteem. Existential Therapy looks at personal meaning, choices and responsibility, which can be useful when coping with life changes, grief or feelings of emptiness. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what a person wants to change next, often helping with stress, anxiety and goal-oriented problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client, and they will decide together which style or combination feels most useful for the presenting concerns and the client's preferences.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins where needed. It can also help people access support from different locations while keeping sessions focused on practical goals and emotional processing.
