About Sue
Sue Cassidy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, depression and big life changes. She also supports those managing anxiety, abuse and trauma, work-related stress and parenting challenges. Sue aims to make the first step easier by offering a warm, non-judgemental space to start talking about what feels overwhelming.
Sue draws on six years of practice and holds BACP accreditation, which she lists in her professional details.
Background and approach
Her earlier roles include supporting people through grief with Cruse and offering help at the mental health charity Mind. She has also provided counselling within workplace settings and the NHS. In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and accepted.
Conversations are collaborative rather than directive - Sue listens, reflects and helps clients find their own solutions. This makes it possible to work through practical problems and painful feelings at a pace that suits the individual. Her approach adapts to each person and often blends client-centred listening with existential reflection and solution-focused strategies.
That combination is used to address issues such as self-esteem, addiction concerns, intimacy-related questions and life transitions. People who choose Sue can expect straightforward language, clear goals and practical steps alongside deeper personal exploration. She encourages small, achievable changes and continued reflection to help clients move towards a more manageable and satisfying daily life.
How Sue’s approaches translate to online therapy
Sue uses client-centred listening to make space for people to tell their story in their own words. This approach focuses on acceptance and empathy and helps when people are struggling with self-esteem, relationship problems or emotional pain.She also draws on solution-focused methods that aim to identify small, practical steps and achievable goals. This can be helpful when someone needs quick strategies for stress, coping with life changes or managing anxiety.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process and Sue approaches this collaboratively. She will discuss goals, try different techniques and adapt the balance of listening, reflection and practical tasks to suit each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals and uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a fuller conversation are helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit people with lower bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and day-to-day life.
