About Sue

Sue Cassidy is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom who focuses on relationship problems, bereavement, depression and life changes. She supports people dealing with anxiety, trauma and workplace stress, and those facing difficulties with parenting, intimacy and addiction. Sue pays particular attention to men's wellbeing among other concerns listed in her practice.

She draws on a person-centred way of working that makes space for people to feel heard. Sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental so clients can speak openly about what is hard. Sue responds to each person as an individual rather than applying a fixed formula.

Her background includes roles with Cruse where she supported bereavement clients, and with MIND helping people with a variety of mental health difficulties. She has also provided counselling in workplace settings and within the NHS, gathering practical experience across several environments.

In conversation she helps people notice what matters to them and explore options that feel right. Sue does not tell clients what to do; she helps them find their own answers and decide on next steps. That might mean short-term practical work or slower exploration of deeper issues.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Sue offers a steady presence while people consider changes. She aims to help clients move towards greater fulfilment and relief from distress. If someone thinks she may be a good fit, they are invited to start the matching process to arrange sessions.

Approaches and how online work can help

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so people can speak honestly and work out what matters to them. This approach suits people facing grief, relationship problems and low mood who need a steady listening space.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and values. It helps people facing major life changes, loss or feelings of emptiness to reflect on what matters and make decisions that fit their life. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and strengths people already have, which can be useful when immediate change is needed or goals are clear.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which style feels most helpful based on a person's goals, preferences and the issues they bring. That means trying things out together and adjusting the plan where needed.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy if relocating within the UK or juggling work commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can discuss practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling steps.
