The ways we think, relate, and cope are often developed for good reason earlier in life; the difficulty is that they don’t always translate well into adulthood. Strategies that once helped now get in the way. We often find ourselves repeating the same patterns that adversely impact our relationships, leaving us feeling disconnected from others and ourselves. Therapy is about making sense of that. Not just insight for its own sake, but awareness that leads to change. I can help you understand yourself and your relationship with the world around you, so you can be better equipped to face life’s challenges and gain emotional resilience

As a therapist with experience working in the NHS and in private practice, I specialise in Anxiety (GAD, Social Anxiety, OCD and Panic Disorder), Addiction, Depression, Trauma and Relationship Issues (Infidelity, Intimacy Issues, Compulsive Sexual Behaviour and Shame) . I am also LGBTQIA+ and Neurodiverse affirming. I believe that therapy should be tailored specifically for your individual needs. It can feel daunting sharing your problems, sometimes for the first time, and I like to work in a collaborative way, helping you learn more about yourself, your issues and developing strategies to manage them.

I specialise in anxiety, depression, addiction and self esteem issues, integrating many tools and modalities from psychotherapy for healing and change. I hold a core belief in the basic holistic principle of the self-healing or self regulatory capacity of each individual. Where we may become halted in our pain and distortion, where the world appears hostile, unsatisfying or stuck, from behind a filter of jumbled negativity, with the right atmosphere of attention, care and awareness the system can melt and transform. I believe the therapeutic relationship holds an important key to this spontaneous process of transformation.

There are times we all need support when struggling with bereavement, workplace challenges, or difficulties in our personal relationships. Life can feel overwhelming and confusing, and you may find yourself questioning reactions that seem to be damaging your relationships or wellbeing.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and thoughts through art therapy. You don’t need to be “good at art” or have any previous artistic experience - the materials are simply there to help you express and explore what’s inside.

You are not feeling right. Maybe you are going through a difficult loss or a challenging life transition. Maybe you are back in a familiar painful place, repeating unhelpful patterns.

You may be struggling with relationships, family expectations or the feeling that different parts of your life or identity don't quite fit together. Sometimes the difficulty isn't only what has happened, but the cultural, family or community context surrounding it. You may find yourself carrying guilt, anxiety, low mood, grief or relationship difficulties while also feeling pressure to keep going, meet expectations or avoid disappointing others. Sometimes there is a clear problem; sometimes it is more a sense that old patterns keep repeating, or that you have lost touch with yourself.

You may be dealing with feelings of anxiety, low mood, stress, or relationship difficulties, and you’re looking for a space to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. Often these struggles are connected to past experiences, patterns, or emotions that are hard to make sense of on your own.
In our work together, we explore these deeper layers with curiosity and care. By understanding how your past shapes your present, you can gain clarity, ease emotional pressure, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. This process helps you move forward with more confidence, balance, and self-awareness.

I work with adults who may feel anxious, low, overwhelmed or stuck in patterns that affect their relationships and self-esteem. You might be navigating change, carrying painful past experiences, or finding it hard to express what you need. Perhaps you simply sense that something isn’t right and want space to understand it. I offer a warm, compassionate relationship where you can talk openly and feel heard. Together, we explore what lies beneath your difficulties, helping you understand yourself more deeply and find ways forward that feel right for you.

Our biggest regrets are rarely the actions we took, but the ones we didn’t.
My name is Sadé and I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. You might look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, low mood, or self-doubt. Fear may be holding you back from doing the things you’ve always wanted. Perhaps worry, low mood, trauma, or relationship patterns keep showing up in ways you can’t shift. Together we identify what’s keeping the cycle going and use evidence-based CBT tools to help you regain confidence, restore balance, and move forward with clarity & self belief.

To me, psychotherapy is the opportunity to explore, and eventually accept yourself fully – to deepen your understanding of yourself, your responses, and your relationship with the people and the world around you. A process of awareness that can help you learn and heal from the trauma of your past. I had an unusual upbringing with very 'alternative' parents (hence the name) which meant that I was exposed to many weird and wonderful people, ideas and experiences from an early age. This came with its ups and downs, but fundamentally it has helped me develop a deep understanding of what it means to be human.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
