About Sadie

Sadie Paulucy offers practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She helps individuals who are struggling with low mood, panic, relationship strain, grief, addiction or long-standing patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sadie works at a pace that suits each person and focuses on small, workable steps that fit into everyday life.

She draws on a mix of counselling approaches rather than a single method. That means sessions can include talking through current problems, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and looking at how earlier experiences shape present habits. Sadie often combines gentle exploration of past experiences with tools to manage distress in the moment.

Across nine years in practice she has supported people facing domestic abuse, anxiety and depression, and challenges such as sleeping or eating difficulties, addiction, chronic pain and caregiver stress. Sadie uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred listening and emotion-focused work.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Sadie aims to help people build clearer boundaries, steadier mood regulation and kinder self-talk.

If you are unsure how therapy might help, she invites you to start with a short conversation to see whether her approach fits your needs and goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions to help people move forward despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises to reduce distress and change patterns that cause problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current ways of relating and helps people build safer, more dependable ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss your goals and test what feels helpful in early sessions. Together you can try different techniques and agree which combination of approaches best supports your needs and preferences.

The biography does not specify which online session types are used, so please confirm exact formats before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, save travel time and allow check-ins while managing work and family routines. Shorter catch-ups can be used for brief problem-solving, and longer sessions for deeper exploration and skills practice. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and grounding techniques to suit remote sessions so people can keep building skills between meetings.
