About Sue
Sue Cassidy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship strain, grief and loss, depression, and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, trauma and abuse, workplace issues and parenting concerns. Her style is calm and accepting, aimed at creating a space where someone can be honestly heard.
Sue draws on six years of experience working in bereavement services and mental health charities.
Background and approach
She has provided counselling for Cruse and for MIND, and has run workplace and NHS-based counselling. That background means she is used to practical, everyday problems as well as deeper emotional pain. In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship first.
That starts with listening closely and reflecting back what she hears. Clients are treated with warmth and without judgement so they can speak about difficult things more freely. Sue does not give directive advice.
Instead she helps people clarify their own goals and find solutions that fit their life. She adapts to each person rather than following a single rigid method. Her practical aim is to help people notice small changes that make a difference.
That might be setting a manageable goal, trying a new way to speak about feelings, or planning one change at a time. Sue encourages steady progress and honest discussion about what is and isn’t working. Anyone who feels overwhelmed by loss, low mood, relationship problems or life transitions can expect a straightforward, compassionate approach.
If someone wants to try talking about their situation, Sue offers a steady, listening presence to guide the process.

Online support
Choosing how to work together is collaborative. Sue will talk through your needs and preferences and suggest which approach or mix might fit best. She encourages clients to try a way of working and then reflect together on whether it helps, so the plan can be adjusted as things progress.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you use visual cues and more of a face-to-face feel, while phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options give flexibility in timing and style while keeping the therapeutic focus on your goals and what you want to change.
