About Sue
Sue Cassidy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people facing relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, depression and major life changes. She also supports clients with anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and workplace problems, and issues such as addiction and intimacy-related concerns.
Sue draws on Client-Centred, Existential and Solution-Focused approaches. In sessions she listens and reflects so clients can sort through what matters to them. She avoids telling people what to do and instead helps them notice their own options and make decisions that fit their life.
Her past roles include supporting people at Cruse with bereavement and working with MIND on a range of mental health matters. She has also provided counselling in work-based settings and within the NHS, which has given her experience with different kinds of distress and practical problems.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, short-term goals when that suits the client, or on slower, deeper exploration when people want that. Sue pays attention to how family, faith or past events shape feelings of guilt, shame or self-blame and helps people name those patterns. She works directly on communication, boundaries and coping strategies to help clients manage stress and relationship strain.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Sue uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting what a person says so they can make sense of their feelings. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and clear feedback while they work through guilt or shame.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, practical steps and on what changes would look like. That approach is useful for people who want short-term goals and actionable coping strategies for stress, relationship problems or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to use. That decision is based on the client’s needs, goals and what feels most practical for them.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to attend from different locations, which helps when juggling work, childcare or caregiving responsibilities.
