Sadie Paulucy , BACP

Sadie Paulucy is an integrative psychotherapist who blends practical skills with compassionate listening to support people through both immediate challenges and deeper, long-standing patterns. She works holistically, drawing on person-centred principles alongside cognitive behavioural techniques, trauma-focused methods, compassion-focused ideas, attachment-informed understanding, and exploration of root causes to tailor care to each person's experience and goals.

Sadie has particular experience supporting people affected by anxiety and panic, and those who have experienced domestic abuse at any point in their lives. She recognises how these experiences can shape thinking, emotional responses, and relationships, and approaches each situation with sensitivity to those impacts.

People come to Sadie for help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bereavement, relationship problems, life transitions, and self-critical or self-punishing patterns. She offers a non-judgmental, paced way of working that focuses on understanding what is happening now and exploring where difficulties may have originated, so that change and healing can follow.

Sadie is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. She supports clients in finding practical tools and new perspectives while walking alongside them through each step of the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Sadie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values, learn practical ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings, and take steps toward a more meaningful life. This approach is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and struggles with motivation.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional safety. It can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and improving relationship dynamics.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sadie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt strategies and pace to suit the individual.

Online therapy with Sadie is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living in different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals and therapists without the constraints of travel.
