About Sue
Sue Cassidy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship issues, grief and loss, depression, anxiety and trauma. She aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgement. Sue brings six years' experience working in grief support and mental health settings.
Before moving into independent practice she supported people through Cruse bereavement care and worked with MIND on a range of mental health concerns.
Background and approach
She has also provided counselling in workplace settings and for the NHS, giving her experience with a wide variety of problems including abuse, workplace stress and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and non-directive. She focuses on listening carefully and helping people find their own solutions rather than telling them what to do.
This approach is intended to build trust so people can speak openly about painful or confusing issues. Sue uses simple, practical conversations to help people make changes. She adapts to each person’s needs and responds to the individual story they bring.
The work can include short-term solution-focused techniques alongside deeper, exploratory conversations. People often come for help with self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, intimacy and family conflict. Sue also supports those dealing with bipolar, ADHD, body image, fertility and carer stress among other concerns.
She works in English and brings a compassionate, steady presence to the therapy room.

Ways of working Sue names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sue uses client-centred work to help people feel heard and accepted. This approach focuses on understanding each person’s experience and responding with empathy so they can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace.She also draws on solution-focused methods that aim for small, practical changes. These techniques help when someone wants clearer steps to manage stress, improve communication or cope with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will collaborate with a person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the way they work if needed.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit into a busy day and use less bandwidth, while live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going across work, family and daily life.
