Sadie Paulucy, BACP

Sadie Paulucy offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression or life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to help clients notice what matters and take small, manageable steps. Sadie makes space for difficult memories and current worries without rushing the process.

Her practice brings together Person-Centred ideas with cognitive and emotional approaches. That means sessions focus on what you want to change now, while also looking at patterns that began earlier in life. Conversations can include practical coping skills, thought work, and exploring attachment and relationship patterns.

Sadie has nine years of experience and holds BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with issues such as anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing parenting strain, caring responsibilities, chronic illness, eating and sleeping difficulties, and workplace stress.

Her additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication problems and substance use concerns. Sessions attend both to immediate coping and to longer term change in how people relate to themselves and others.

Sadie aims to work at a pace that feels safe and useful. She encourages collaboration about goals and practical steps between sessions. To begin, readers can use the Start Therapy pathway to complete a short questionnaire and arrange an initial session.

Therapy approaches that translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them and to act in line with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes by focusing on what matters most and small steps towards it. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and responding. It helps people understand patterns in relationships and build more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a client's goals and preferences. That may mean trying practical CBT techniques for a while, then using attachment work to address deeper patterns, or mixing methods to meet changing needs.
