About Sue
Sue Cassidy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people struggling with relationship problems, grief and loss, depression and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, trauma and abuse, workplace stress, parenting concerns and issues related to LGBT identity. Sue works to create a calm and respectful space where people can be heard without judgement.
She draws on six years of practical experience that include roles with Cruse and MIND, plus counselling in workplace settings and for the NHS.
Background and approach
That background means she is used to talking about bereavement, mental health challenges and everyday pressures in plain language. Sue’s approach centres on building a strong working relationship. She aims to listen carefully and reflect what she hears so people can make sense of their situation.
She does not direct or prescribe a single solution; instead she helps people find their own answers. In sessions Sue focuses on each person as an individual. Conversations look at patterns, practical steps and how to cope day to day.
The emphasis is on achievable changes that fit with someone’s life and personal values. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Sue acknowledges that. She offers a warm, patient presence to support people as they explore change and aim for a more satisfying life.
If someone feels she might be a good fit, the next step is to start the matching process and arrange a time to meet.

How Sue’s approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can explore their feelings and make choices that feel right. This works well for issues like grief, low mood and relationship concerns.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and life transitions. It helps when someone is facing big decisions, questioning identity, or coping with uncertainty and loss. The emphasis is on understanding values and how to live in line with them.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. Sessions often identify strengths and build short-term goals that offer quick relief from stress or repetitive problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what matters to the person and try different ways of working until a helpful fit emerges. This is a collaborative process that balances goals, preferences and everyday needs.
Session logistics are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm the available formats before booking.

Others prefer different arrangements for shorter check-ins or more in-depth conversation; discuss options when you make your first appointment to choose what fits your life.
