Sadie Paulucy, BACP

Sadie Paulucy is a counsellor with nine years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries and difficult life changes. She works with issues such as grief, self-esteem troubles, addiction, intimacy concerns and the effects of trauma. Many clients come when they feel overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. Sadie offers a calm, down-to-earth approach and meets people where they are.

Sadie uses a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to look at both current problems and the patterns that began earlier in life. Sessions focus on practical skills and on understanding the stories that shape reactions and relationships. Conversations aim to be clear, collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

People bring concerns like panic, depression, low self-worth, bereavement, parenting strain, work stress and sleep or eating difficulties. She also supports those affected by domestic violence and by long-term illness or caregiving pressures. Where patterns such as codependency, abandonment fears or avoidant tendencies show up, she helps people recognise and shift them.

Sadie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom. Her work blends evidence-informed methods with a person-centred stance, so the focus stays on what matters to the individual in front of her.

She encourages small, achievable steps and practical strategies alongside deeper work on attachment and meaning. If someone is unsure where to begin, Sadie supports a gentle, exploratory first phase to find the right pace and focus.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and difficulties when change feels hard. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships colour current connections and trust, helping people understand patterns in closeness and conflict. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a trusting relationship so people can find their own solutions and make sense of painful feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals and together decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses, with practical adjustments if something isn’t helping.

For practicalities, confirm the session formats offered before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work during life transitions or while living in another country, since international clients are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work suits people who need flexibility, but the therapist will help match format and pacing to each person’s situation.
