About Sue

Sue Cassidy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people work through relationship problems, family conflict, grief and life changes. She also supports those dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, addictions and intimacy-related issues. Sue aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and accepted.

Sue draws on six years of practice and experience working with charities and health services. Her background includes roles at Cruse supporting people with grief, and at MIND helping with a range of mental health concerns. She has also provided counselling in workplace settings and for the NHS.

Her way of working centres on building a trusting relationship. She listens without judgement and offers warm, empathic support so clients can talk openly about difficult issues. Sue does not direct people what to do; instead she helps them find their own solutions that fit their life.

Sue adapts each session to the individual. She responds to the person in front of her rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. That means practical, person-focused conversations about coping, decision-making and small steps forward.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Sue aims to make that step easier. If someone thinks she might be a good fit, they are encouraged to begin the matching process and schedule a session to see how the work feels.

How Sue’s approaches work online

Sue draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting space where people can speak freely and feel heard. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through emotions like grief, anxiety or confusion about relationships.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify small, practical steps that can make a difference. That approach is useful for coping with stress, making changes and working towards short-term goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which way of working feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and tailored to what the person wants to get from therapy.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions at different times of day. It can also make brief check-ins or focused goal work easier to arrange, helping people maintain momentum between sessions.
