About Sadie
Sadie Paulucy is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and phobias alongside a wide range of life challenges. She writes simply and listens carefully, aiming to make the first steps less overwhelming for someone who is worried or unsure about therapy. Sadie uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectual Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and client-centred practice to work on both current problems and longer standing patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are usually practical and paced to suit how someone feels in the moment. Clients come for many reasons, including stress, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, relationship problems, grief, addiction concerns, and issues with sleep or eating. She also helps people facing life changes, chronic health challenges, or difficulties linked to attachment and abandonment.
The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to act in ways that match their values. Sadie has nine years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background shapes a reflective practice that balances practical tools with time to understand patterns and history.
Sessions can include skills practice, notice of unhelpful thinking styles, grounding for strong emotion, and exploration of how early relationships still affect today. Sadie works collaboratively to set small, doable goals and to review progress as therapy continues.
How Sadie's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than being driven by fear. It can be useful for anxiety, phobias and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, which is helpful for panic, phobias and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be useful when trust, abandonment or connection are central issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sadie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and how they cope, then use one or a mix of these methods so therapy fits the individual. This is a collaborative process and goals are reviewed as things change.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit short check-ins, skill practice, or people who find typing easier than speaking. Together these options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and health needs while keeping continuity over time.
