About Sue
Sue Cassidy is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, depression and life changes. She works with clients on anxiety, trauma, workplace difficulties and parenting concerns. Sue writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first step less daunting for anyone who is feeling overwhelmed.
Sue builds sessions around a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship. She listens without judgement and helps people feel heard. That base of trust is used to explore what feels stuck and what can change.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on client-centred principles that put the person’s experience at the centre of each session. She also uses existential ideas to look at meaning and choice, and solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps forward. Sue has six years of experience and has worked in bereavement support with Cruse and in services with Mind.
She has also provided counselling in workplace settings and for NHS services, which has shaped how she supports people in everyday life challenges. Sessions aim to help people find their own answers rather than being told what to do. Sue responds to each person as an individual and adapts the way she works to suit their needs.
If someone is ready to take a next step, she offers supportive guidance through that process.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and accepted. It helps when someone needs a compassionate space to make sense of difficult feelings and to build self-trust. Existential therapy uses conversations about meaning, choice and responsibility to support people facing big life questions or transitions. Solution-focused therapy looks for practical steps and small changes that can make a difference quickly, which can suit people who want clear, goal-oriented work.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will discuss these ways of working with each client and together decide which fits best for their needs, goals and personal preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the approach can be adjusted if something else would help more.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit around busy schedules. These options give practical flexibility so people can fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments.
