About Sue
Sue Cassidy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing relationship pain, grief, depression and big life changes. She also helps with anxiety, stress, addictions and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Sue works in English and draws on six years of experience to guide people through difficult moments.
Sue aims to build a steady and accepting therapeutic relationship where people feel heard without judgement. Sessions focus on listening closely, clarifying what matters most and helping each person find their own solutions.
Background and approach
She believes every story is different and adapts her approach to the individual sitting in front of her. Her background includes work supporting bereavement at Cruse and wider mental health support at MIND, alongside counselling in workplace settings and within the NHS. This range of settings means she is used to short practical conversations and deeper ongoing work alike.
Sue holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. In practice she combines a gentle, client-centred stance with existential questions about meaning and choices. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help people identify small steps that ease daily life.
The tone in sessions is supportive, plainspoken and aimed at building agency. People come to Sue for help with family difficulties, parenting pressures, career stress, eating concerns, ADHD and mood variability including bipolar. She offers a calm space to look at what is draining energy and to try manageable changes that fit each person’s life.

Online support
How Sue’s approaches work online
Sue uses Existential Therapy to help people face questions about meaning, choice and identity. This approach can suit those coping with major life changes, grief or a sense of emptiness by encouraging honest reflection about values and options.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. That style is useful when people need a warm, non-judgemental space to make sense of difficult feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, achievable steps that can relieve immediate stress and build momentum toward goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving and other commitments.
