Sue Cassidy, BACP

Sue Cassidy is a British therapist practicing in the United Kingdom with six years of experience supporting people through relationship challenges, family conflict, grief and loss, depression, and major life changes. She has worked with a broad range of issues including anxiety, trauma and abuse, workplace difficulties, parenting concerns, and addiction, and brings experience from roles with Cruse, MIND, NHS services, and workplace counselling settings.

Sue works from a client-centered stance that prioritizes creating a warm, accepting space where people feel heard and understood without judgement. Her aim is to build a reliable therapeutic relationship that supports open exploration of difficult feelings and experiences, so each person can examine what matters most to them and begin to make sense of their situation.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all answers, Sue helps people discover their own solutions and pathways forward. She responds to each person as an individual and adapts her approach to the specific needs presented in therapy. Her professional credential is BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting recognised training and membership in a national counselling body.

Taking the first step toward change can feel daunting, and Sue offers practical, compassionate support to explore options, manage transitions, and work toward a more satisfying and balanced life. She is available to discuss whether her approach would be a good fit for someone seeking help.

Approaches and online support for relationship and life change

Sue draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where a person can explore feelings and values to build self-understanding and confidence. This approach is helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and adapting to life transitions.

She also uses solution-focused therapy, a brief, goal-oriented method that helps people identify practical steps and small changes that lead to progress. This approach can be especially useful for clients seeking clearer direction, coping strategies for stress or anxiety, and concrete improvements in daily life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Sue works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time so the work matches what matters most to the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of support from licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt their approach to remote formats.
