Sue Cassidy, BACP

Sue Cassidy supports people facing relationship strain, grief and loss, depression, anxiety and major life changes. She also helps with addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating struggles, parenting pressures and work-related stress. Sue works with issues linked to ADHD and bipolar, and she offers support around self-esteem, career questions and LGBT concerns.

Sue is a British counsellor with six years' experience. She has worked for Cruse, supporting people through bereavement, and with MIND on a range of mental health concerns. Her background also includes counselling in workplace settings and for the NHS.

Her way of working focuses on building a trusting relationship where people feel genuinely heard. She aims to offer warmth, empathy and non-judgement so clients can speak openly about difficult topics. Sue does not direct decisions for clients but helps them find answers that fit their life.

Sue uses Client-Centred, Existential and Solution-Focused approaches. That means sessions can include close listening, exploring personal meaning and setting practical steps to try between meetings. The emphasis is on responding to each person as an individual.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Sue describes this as part of the change process. She supports people to explore options and make changes that could lead to a more satisfying life.

How Sue's approaches work online

Sue draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Existential Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. Client-Centred work focuses on careful listening and acceptance so people can speak openly and find what feels right for them. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and how life transitions shape feelings, which can help when coping with loss or major change. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting small, practical steps and noticing what already helps in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sue will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and decide on a way forward collaboratively. The plan can change as things move on, and practical tasks may be tried between meetings to test what helps.

Please confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed and letting people join from different locations. It can also support regular continuity of care and make it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caring commitments.
