About me
Hello, I’m Jeremy, an Integrative Psychotherapist offering a warm, professional, and experienced approach to therapy. My goal is to support you in developing a deeper understanding of the challenges you’re facing and to help you gain meaningful insights into how to navigate them. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including person-centred and psychodynamic therapies, and I am also trained in Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), an intensive short-term intervention for Traumatic Stress Disorders. I am an author with a number of published articles and my first book, An Intersectional Guide for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse and their Allies, out July 2025 with Routledge publishers. Lastly, I sit on the Board of Directors for Wellbeing Scotland, a charity dedicated to supporting those who faced abuse or significant challenges in childhood.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, and I understand how much time and energy it can take to sift through profiles. To make this process easier, I’ve structured my profile into three clear sections: ‘Why Therapy?’, ‘What My Therapy Offers’, and ‘My Experience’. I hope this helps you determine if I might be the right fit for you. If you have any further questions, please feel free to explore my website, jeremysachs.com, or send me a message—I’d be happy to help.
Why Therapy?
People come to therapy for many reasons. You might have specific issues you’d like to address, such as past traumas, challenges with identity or relationships, or you may simply need a safe space to explore your emotions and experiences.
In our busy lives, it’s rare to set aside dedicated time to reflect on our feelings, past experiences, or emotional pain. Therapy offers you the opportunity to do just that. By committing to this process, my hope is that you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your experiences and how they shape your life today.
What My Therapy Offers
My approach to therapy is rooted in creating a safe, relational space where you can freely express yourself and explore your thoughts and feelings. I integrate person-centred and psychodynamic therapies, tailoring my methods to meet your unique needs. I also incorporate psycho-education as a valuable tool to help you better understand your emotions and deepen the therapeutic process.
In addition, I am trained in Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), a focused, evidence-based approach designed to treat Traumatic Stress Disorders. NET is particularly effective for individuals who have experienced multiple traumas and is both culturally inclusive and trauma-informed.
If you’d like to learn more about my therapeutic approach or NET, I invite you to visit my website, where you’ll find my blog, free support materials, and further details about my work: jeremysachs.com
My Experience
With years of experience in mental health, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. I have previously created and facilitated group therapy programs at SurvivorsUK, a charity supporting men, boys, Trans, and non-binary individuals who have experienced sexual abuse or violence. I have worked with varied challenges in private practice, such as depression, anxiety, issues around identity, sexuality and relationships.
I have also held an honorary contract at the NHS Maudsley Psychiatric Hospital, where I provided one-to-one therapy to patients with a wide range of mental health challenges. Beyond this, I have extensive experience working across diverse health and mental health settings, including support for individuals living with HIV, gender-based violence, LGBTQIA+ issues, and long-term health conditions.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
