Sue Cassidy

Sue Cassidy is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes. Sue also helps with anxiety, anger, addictions and a wide range of personal challenges. She builds the work around a strong, respectful relationship. Sue aims to listen carefully and offer an accepting, non-judgemental space. That approach is intended to help people feel safe enough to talk about painful or confusing issues. Sue draws on client-centred ways of working to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses elements from existential and solution-focused approaches to help people clarify values and practical next steps. The emphasis is on finding things that fit the individual's life and goals. Her background includes supporting bereavement with Cruse and offering counselling through MIND, workplace settings and the NHS. Those roles shaped her experience with grief, mental health problems and practical life stresses. Sue prefers to work collaboratively rather than give direct instructions. She helps clients explore options and identify their own solutions. Taking the first appointment can feel hard, and she aims to make that first step easier. If someone wants to know more about working together they are invited to complete the site's matching questionnaire and arrange a session to see if the approach feels right.

How Sue’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and accepted. In practice this means the counsellor pays close attention to what the person says and helps them make sense of their feelings. It is useful for emotional issues like grief, depression and anger.

Existential Therapy looks at questions about meaning, choice and personal values. It can help when people feel stuck by life changes, emptiness or major transitions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move someone towards their goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That way the person and the counsellor decide together which style feels most helpful.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity of care and make it simpler to schedule around everyday commitments.
