About Sue
Counsellor Sue Cassidy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years' experience. She works with relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, depression and life changes, and lists anxiety, trauma, addiction and parenting among her areas of practice.
Sue aims to build a straightforward, trusting working relationship. She listens and reflects so people can set the pace and discuss hard topics without feeling judged. She does not give directive advice; instead she helps people find their own way through problems.
Her background includes time working with Cruse supporting people after bereavement and with MIND on a range of mental health issues. She has also provided counselling in workplace settings and within the NHS, which means she is used to different kinds of referral and service contexts.
Sue offers a mix of person-focused and goal-oriented tools. She draws on client-centred work to centre the person's experience, existential ideas to look at meaning and choice, and solution-focused techniques for practical next steps. Sessions typically involve talking, reflecting and testing small changes between meetings.
People often come to Sue for help with stress, relationship conflict, parenting strain, grief and sexual or intimacy concerns. She also supports those coping with neurodiversity, ageing questions and long-term mood conditions. Her approach is pragmatic and conversational, aimed at making everyday life more manageable.
How Sue uses client-centred and solution-focused work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The therapist listens without directing and reflects what is said to help clarify feelings and priorities. This can help when someone needs to be heard about loss, relationship strain or ongoing low mood.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps. It looks at what is already working and builds achievable actions to change daily routines or communication patterns. Existential ideas are also used to discuss choice, meaning and how people want to live, which can be useful for life changes and questions about purpose.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Sue will work with the person to agree which approaches to use, checking what helps and adjusting as the work continues. Goals and methods are reviewed together rather than imposed.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer discussion without being in a room with the counsellor. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while helping clients work on relationships, grief and coping strategies.
