About Sadie

Sadie Paulucy offers straightforward support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps in life. She aims to make sessions practical and compassionate. Her approach suits those facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, bereavement or midlife change who want clear, steady help.

She describes herself as an integrative psychotherapist and uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. That means some weeks focus on practical skills, and other weeks look at patterns from earlier life that keep repeating now. Sessions are paced to the individual so people can take steps they can manage.

Over nine years of practice she has worked with people dealing with anxiety and panic, depression and low self-esteem, plus those affected by domestic abuse. She also supports people with addictions, ADHD, chronic health concerns and career or parenting stress. The work can include talking through relationships, grief or changes that come in midlife.

Her listed approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These are mixed together depending on what the person needs in the moment and what goals they bring to therapy.

Sadie holds BACP which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including for international clients. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to book according to her availability.

How different approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking small steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes where action matters more than feeling perfect. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for panic, worry and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help people who notice repeating patterns in intimacy and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods make sense for the person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.

Please confirm the exact online session formats available before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people choose sessions that suit their energy levels - for example focusing on skills practice one week and deeper reflection the next - without promising a particular format.
