About Sadie

She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help clients make sense of their thoughts and feelings. Her approach is calm and patient, aimed at finding what will help each person in everyday life.
She draws on Narrative Therapy alongside other methods to look at the stories people tell about themselves.
Background and approach
That can help spot unhelpful patterns and offer new ways to act and feel. Sadie also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to support clients when emotions or relationships feel stuck. With nine years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Sadie blends several approaches rather than following a single technique.
Sessions are conversational and aim to give practical tools as well as space to reflect. Clients can work at a pace that suits them, exploring current problems and the background that feeds them. She helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD.
Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and communication problems. Sadie provides sessions in English and accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Online session options
How Narrative and Acceptance-Based Work Online
Sadie combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people make change. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories you tell about yourself and what those stories allow or limit. It can help with low self-worth, patterns that repeat, and finding different ways to act. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and committing to actions that match your values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and long-standing stress. Attachment-Based approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people improve how they relate to others and to themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then try different ways of working together. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let you see body language and allow fuller conversations. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when being on camera is not wanted. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, care duties and daily life.
