More about Sadie

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities to cater to the needs of every individual. I am able to utilise Person-Centred Theory (PCT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment Theory (AT), Compassionate Focused Therapy (CFT), and Trauma-Informed Therapy. Implementing an integrated approach provides unique, authentic, and empowering experiences which can help clients to manage emotional trauma, achieve realistic goals, and live healthier lives.

I possess a deep passion to support vulnerable individuals who struggle with emotional, cognitive, and psychological issues as well as additional complex needs including: anxiety, depression, domestic abuse, sexual violence, substance misuse, addiction, bereavement, low self-esteem, eating disorders, BPD, PTSD, OCD, anger and attachment disorders. In addition to this, I consider myself to be a deeply compassionate and empathetic professional with excellent communication skills and a desire to help individuals process difficult life experiences, unlearn maladaptive thought patterns and behaviours, and develop confidence to make more autonomous choices.

Beginning therapy can be a daunting experience, however many individuals have found therapy helpful when they have felt hopeless, helpless, and stuck in life. Engaging in therapy can help to promote self-awareness, self-confidence, and enable you to consider life challenges from alternative perspectives. Lastly, therapy can be useful for processing unresolved issues which when left untreated, can amplify feelings of guilt, shame, and self-blame, thus preventing the individual from living life to their fullest potential.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Sadie is THE therapist you hope for when you start therapy. She is incredibly supportive and attentive. She understands my needs and limits and gently guides me through the process of self-discovery and healing parts of myself I haven’t been in touch with for years. I could not have asked for a better therapy experience!

Sadie is helping me so much I don’t know how I would have coped otherwise. I’m suffering from burnout, anxiety & trauma to name a few. To be matched to someone that can help me is so amazing, I mean how would I know which kind of therapist I need in my darkest moment? I’m so grateful.

Very professional. I've been with several therapists over the years and Sadie is by far the best one I've been with.

Mar 2024

I'm so grateful I didn't quit on BetterHelp and tried Sadie out as a last effort. She has been so compassionate and professional and also real. I have done a lot of therapy and never felt this safe with a therapist. Would 100% recommend Sadie.

Mar 2024

Incredible therapist, who has helped me with so much in such a short amount of time. Honestly the best therapist I've ever had

I have been working with Sadie for nearly a year now and I feel her knowledge and expertise has really helped me to move forward in my life and goals. I would highly recommend Sadie. Sadie has really helped me in my quest for self discovery and growth!

Nov 2023

Sadie is the best therapist I've ever had! Her compassion towards me and gentle wording has been pivotal for me. I had tried two other therapists before her on BetterHelp, and she was going to be the last I tried before throwing in the towel on this form of therapy. I'm so glad I did try one last time, because therapy with her has been so incredibly helpful. This woman is a jem.

Nov 2023

So far Sadie has been incredibly understanding, attentive and caring. I feel like I am in really good hands with her.

Oct 2023

Could not have been paired with a better therapist, I’ve gotten more out of the year with Sadie and progressed further with being able to sit with discomfort or allow tough feelings and know that they won’t have to determine my day or life. It’s amazing, truly she gives me the tools I need and ask insightful questions in a way that I haven’t been asked before. Plus I love how she backs up what she says with literature or facts, she’s amazing, truly

Sep 2023

I lucked out with Sadie. Beyond being a wonderful therapist, she is a wonderful person. She listens, she cares, and she knows how to help. She doesn’t judge or make me feel self conscious of what to say in front of her. She has a gift for reading in between the lines of what I’m saying and putting meaning into words that allow me to deeper understand myself and what’s holding me back. I am so glad to have her as my therapist.

Aug 2023

Sadie was a wonderful therapist and really helped turn my life around, have better control over my life and emotions and educated me a lot on my mental health. I am eternally grateful for her. She has great warmth, is an outstanding listener and very empathetic. She does not judge and gave me great reassurance each time we spoke. She has great expertise over numerous mental health issues - from anxiety, panic, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, anger management and trauma. After about 9 or 10 months of weekly sessions with her, I can say she really changed my life.

Jun 2023

I can’t recommend Sadie enough, truly I look forward to our sessions because she is such an incredibly talented, skilled, kind and supportive therapist. I truly couldn’t have been matched with anyone better, I feel so lucky! She is an attentive listener, explains things in a way that makes sense or helps me see things in a different perspective and asked insightful questions. I’ve never felt more supported by a therapist/counsel or/psychiatrist, she is an absolute gem!

May 2023

I am so blessed with Sadie, I gave up long time ago with a therapist but Sadie changed everything.. I'm so so thankful I found her. She is absolutely amazing... I feel safe, understood and so much more.

Mar 2023

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sadie for some time now, and I cannot speak highly enough of her. She made me feel comfortable opening up. She is a knowledgeable and compassionate therapist who has helped me in so many ways. One of the things I appreciate most about her is how informative our sessions are. She takes the time to teach me about psychology and how it applies to my specific situation, and she’s always willing to accommodate my schedule. I appreciate that Sadie is flexible and works with me to find appointment times that are convenient for me. Sadie has helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself. I appreciate that she always takes things at a pace that works for me and ensures that I never feel overwhelmed. Her approach to therapy is both compassionate and empowering, and I know that I wouldn't be where I am today without her support. One of the things I have learned since working with Sadie is how to be aware of my emotions. She has given me the tools to better understand my feelings and how to navigate difficult situations. I appreciate that she encourages me to be kind to myself. Overall, I highly recommend Sadie to anyone seeking a therapist who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to helping their clients succeed. She is an incredible therapist, and I am grateful to have her as a part of my healing journey.

Mar 2023

Sadie has had a huge impact on my life. I started confiding in her as my therapist roughly 7 months ago and have seen a huge transformation in my psychological state, moods and life in general ever since. She is highly compassionate, competent, articulate and warm. Whilst her expertise and understanding of psychology is impressive, she also manages to put me at ease and make me feel comfortable talking about uncomfortable topics. I have a wife range of issues, from numerous traumas, depression, severe anxiety, anger issues, mood swings to ADHD and eating disorders - and she has managed to help me through all of these.

Feb 2023

I find that Sadie is really in tune with what is going on for me and is able to help me navigate my way to self discovery. She is always supportive, compassionate and respectful to all aspects of my journey. I have certainly grown and learned a lot about myself which makes me excited about where I am heading!

Feb 2023

Sadie has been incredible... truly I look forward to our meetings because I always leave feeling so incredibly grateful that I was paired with her. She is a very compassionate, intuitive and kind person, an expert in her field and I feel like for the first time in years that I'm making progress, all due to her. She makes me feel hopeful and that is worth everything.

Sadie is a great therapist and I highly respect her and would like to come and speak with her in the future

Dec 2022

Sadie made me feel comfortable talking to her from the first session with her compassionate style. She's helped me with a range of issues and I would highly recommend her.

Oct 2022

Sadie is great and I really appreciate her support

A.N.·Aug 2022

I've only had a couple of sessions so far with Sadie but it was enough time for me to determine she is an incredibly kind, intelligent, experienced, compassionate and warm therapist. From our first meeting I felt at ease with her and look forward to future sessions, I feel like I'm making progress just over the past two sessions, she lets me decide or define what I'd like to focus on, she ask excellent probing questions and never judges or pushes but instead like the excellent therapist she is, she helps me by reframing my thoughts and getting me to come to points of clarity on my own. I feel very lucky to be paired with her and look forward to our following sessions.

S.U.·Aug 2022

Very understanding and patient

C.U.·Aug 2022

I am extremely happy that I was matched with Sadie Paulucy as my therapist. She is such a genuine, kind and passionate person. I feel heard and understood. Every week I am looking forward to my next session. I feel safe to open and talk about my problems because I know I won't be judged. I am receiving great advices from Sadie, constant contact and help.

W.I.·Jul 2022

Sadie is very understand and compassionate. That really comes across in the tone of her voice and the questions she asks. And as someone who talks in a very long winded way, she manages to relate back to me in a caring yet concise manner. So I am able to carry on talking as much as I can in the 45minute sessions

J.O.·Jul 2022

Extremely understanding and empathetic. I feel very comfortable talking to Sadie and for once do not feel ignored.

E.M.·Jun 2022

Saddie is an extremely knowledgeable and empathetic person. The sessions with her left me feel empowered and validated, which helped me better understand myself and strengthen my inner compassionate voice, as well as feeling more confident in my academic journey. Couldn't be more grateful for having her as my therapist!
