Sadie Paulucy, BACP

Sadie uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core practical approaches. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and introduces straightforward techniques to change behaviours and thoughts that maintain low mood or anxiety. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people notice what matters and take steps towards those values even when difficult feelings are present.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps people understand how they relate to others and to themselves, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and low self-worth. Together these approaches offer both symptom-focused skills and deeper understanding of patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sadie collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging suits people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel, while keeping therapy accessible across the UK and internationally.
