Sue Cassidy , BACP

Sue Cassidy is a UK-based therapist with six years of clinical experience who works with individuals and families facing relationship strain, grief, depression, and major life changes. She has supported people through anxiety, trauma and abuse, workplace difficulties, parenting challenges, and a wide range of emotional concerns. Her background includes roles with Cruse, where she supported people coping with bereavement, and with MIND, providing help to clients with diverse mental health needs, along with counselling in work-based settings and for the NHS.

Sue draws on an approach that prioritises a solid therapeutic relationship - offering active listening, acceptance, and non-judgemental support so clients can feel heard and understood. She aims to create a warm, empathetic atmosphere that helps people build trust and to feel able to explore painful or complex issues at their own pace.

Rather than prescribing solutions, Sue works collaboratively to help people discover their own answers and choices. She treats each person as an individual, tailoring her responses to each unique story and circumstance. Taking the first step toward change can be difficult; Sue supports people through that process and helps them explore ways to move toward a more fulfilling life.

Sue holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional training and commitment to ongoing development.

Therapeutic Approaches and Convenient Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathic relationship in which the client is listened to and accepted without judgement. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, identity, and relationship dynamics. Existential Therapy invites clients to consider meaning, choice, and responsibility in the face of life transitions and loss - it can be helpful for those wrestling with big questions about purpose, grief, or major changes. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-oriented, concentrating on practical steps and strengths to help people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship problems more effectively.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sue works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will help determine which combination of approaches is the best fit. Together with the client, she tailors sessions so the work feels relevant and actionable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access support from home or another convenient location. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide meaningful therapeutic work that supports progress and personal insight.
