About Sue
Sue Cassidy is a UK-based counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, stress, addiction and trauma. Sue aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what feels hard and start to make sense of their next steps.
Sue uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and understanding. She encourages people to find their own solutions rather than giving advice.
Background and approach
This approach suits anyone who wants a supportive listener who will reflect back what matters to them. She also draws on existential ideas to help people explore meaning, values and life choices. That can be useful for those feeling stuck, empty or struggling with big decisions.
Sue blends this with brief, solution-focused techniques to help set achievable goals and notice practical changes quickly. Before working independently Sue spent time supporting people through grief with Cruse and assisting people with a range of mental health problems at MIND.
She has also provided counselling in workplace settings and for the NHS, gaining a broad view of common life stresses and relationship pressures. Sue holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has six years' experience. Sessions are offered in English and are available via a range of online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches Sue lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sue will discuss your needs, aims and preferences and help choose which methods to use. That collaboration lets the sessions stay flexible and aligned to practical goals as things change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
