Hi! My name is Sadie and it's very important to me that therapy is a collaborative process in which we both work together to ensure you feel heard, safe and have an open space for you to explore your difficulties and meet your goals in a way that feels manageable. My goal as your therapist is to make sense of what has brought you to treatment, to understand where you are stuck and for us together to think about what you need to feel able to move forward. Therapy is an active process where we work together as a team and I want to ensure we find a way to enable you to move closer towards living the life you want for yourself.
I specialise in the treatment of PTSD, mood disorders and difficulties associated with hormonal health conditions such as Endometriosis. I work with a range of psychological therapies including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and EMDR.
I appreciate meeting someone new can feel daunting and it can be hard to sit with that sense of feeling vulnerable. I value building a positive therapeutic relationship from the outset and it is important to me that you feel secure in our work together. I will always invite your feedback and want to ensure you get the most from therapy.
