About Sadie
Sadie Paulucy is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or life changes. She works with worries about relationships, grief, addictions and low self-esteem. Sadie supports people dealing with trauma, sleep or eating difficulties, and those facing career or parenting strain.
She uses a somatic-informed approach alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people notice how their body and thoughts link together.
Background and approach
Sessions often mix talking with gentle attention to bodily sensations and practical steps to manage distress. Sadie aims to keep things straightforward and paced to each person's comfort. With nine years of experience, Sadie draws from client-centred and cognitive behavioural methods when helpful.
This means she centres the person in the room and works on thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. The work can include building new coping habits and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Sadie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
She offers therapy from the United Kingdom and can work with international clients. Sessions take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. People can expect a collaborative tone in sessions, with practical options and space to reflect.
She helps clients explore how past experiences affect current patterns and supports steps towards clearer thinking and calmer bodily responses.
Approaches you can use online with a somatic focus
Sadie combines somatic awareness with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people feel steadier in daily life. Somatic work invites attention to bodily sensations and how the body holds stress; it can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses and chronic tension. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing values-based actions to move forward. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in close relationships and help people understand how early bonds shape current reactions and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sadie treats the choice as collaborative and will help you try methods that fit your needs, goals and preferences. Together you can adjust pace, try different techniques and decide what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this type of work. Video calls let the therapist and client observe expression and posture while talking through sensations. Phone sessions, live chat and text messaging provide flexible options for those who prefer less visual contact or need support between calls. These formats aim to make it easier to access ongoing therapy alongside daily life.
