About Sue

Sue Cassidy is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' practice in the United Kingdom. She works with relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, depression and life changes. Many people contact her about anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting worries, workplace stress and issues linked to identity and intimacy.

Sue draws on straightforward, person-focused ways of working. She listens, reflects and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions aim to allow people to talk through difficult feelings and to consider practical steps they might try between meetings.

Her background includes supporting people at Cruse with bereavement and working for Mind with a range of mental health concerns. She has also provided counselling in workplace settings and within the NHS. These roles informed her experience of loss, stress and relationship strains.

Sue uses Client-Centred, Existential and Solution-Focused approaches. That means she will focus on the person's experience, on questions about meaning, and on identifying small changes that can make a difference. She does not direct decisions but works with people to find what feels right for them.

People often come for help with stepping into new family roles, blending routines, co-parenting difficulties or loyalty conflicts. Sue encourages practical planning and clearer communication so daily life can feel more manageable. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and book a first session through the online options.

How Sue uses different approaches in online work

Sue uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person's own experience and perspective. This approach prioritises listening and reflection so a person can make sense of feelings and choices. It is useful for relationship strain, grief and low mood.

She also draws on Existential Therapy, which looks at questions about meaning, responsibility and life direction. This can help when people are coping with big life changes or feeling stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions as a way to identify small, practical steps and build on what already works in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the mix of approaches to the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied details, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around other commitments and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when life is busy, or conversations without being on camera if that helps someone engage more comfortably.
