Sue Cassidy

Sue Cassidy is a UK-based counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes. She also helps with anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, parenting pressures and self-esteem struggles. Sue aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what feels hard right now.

Sue draws on six years of experience working in bereavement services and mental health charities. She has provided counselling through organisations such as Cruse and MIND, and has worked in workplace and NHS settings. This background gives her experience with a wide range of problems and practical situations.

In sessions she focuses on building a trusting connection and listening closely to each person's story. She encourages clients to find their own answers rather than telling them what to do. That approach is gentle and collaborative, and it helps people make changes that suit their lives.

Sue uses Client-Centred Therapy, Existential Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. These ways of working keep sessions focused on the person's experience, values and realistic steps forward. She adapts methods to the needs of the individual she is meeting.

She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. Sue notes that taking the first step can feel daunting, and she aims to support people through that early decision and beyond.

How Sue's approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's experience and emphasizes listening and acceptance; it helps when someone needs to feel truly heard about relationship strain, grief or identity concerns. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and values, which can be useful when life feels uncertain or when people are coping with big life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small, achievable goals to reduce stress and move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sue will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful during early sessions, and she will adapt methods as the relationship develops so the plan fits the client's needs.

Practical benefits of online counselling include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. If you prefer a shorter check-in, that can be arranged to fit a break at work, or sessions can be paced to match your energy and schedule. Please confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
