About me

Are you tired of holding it all together? Of putting on a brave face when there’s so much beneath the surface that nobody can see? You go to work, you do your job, and to everyone around you, you seem “fine”. They don’t see the pain you’re carrying or the anxiety that creeps up late at night. They have no idea of the doubt you grapple with or the pressure you’re under.

How I Can Help

Hi there, I’m Sadie. I’m a qualified psychotherapist who helps people manage the impact of stress, anxiety and trauma. I’m also down-to-earth, deeply empathetic and know how hard it can be to share those parts of ourselves we usually keep hidden.

I offer a space where you don’t need to pretend everything is “fine” and can talk about how you truly feel, at your own pace and without judgement. Together, we can explore what’s been building beneath the surface and begin to understand where it comes from. This could be by getting curious and talking about it, or by integrating EMDR into our work. EMDR is a powerful kind of trauma therapy, which can help address the root causes of your struggles and provides tools to cope.

I also offer outdoor therapy sessions, which provides a different way of working, using gentle movement and the calming effects of nature to support reflection, reduce stress, and create space to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

However we work together, my hope is that you leave feeling seen, deeply understood and better able to navigate the challenges you face.

PRACTICE DESCRIPTION

Accessible Online or Face-to-Face Sessions

I offer face-to-face sessions in a lovely, peaceful room in Gosforth, Newcastle, or outdoor sessions in a beautiful and peaceful location.

If you would prefer to work online, please do let me know.

Ongoing Support

I usually work with clients on a weekly basis, at the same time each week. That consistency helps build trust, creates a steady rhythm, and offers the support you need, especially as the work deepens.

I also recognise that therapy is a significant financial commitment. Some people come for a focused piece of work over 8–12 sessions, while others prefer longer-term support. Together, we can think about what feels realistic, helpful, and sustainable for you.

While I generally recommend weekly sessions, I offer a limited number of 90-minute fortnightly outdoor therapy sessions. The longer session length allows time to settle into the work, while keeping the monthly cost more manageable. These are charged at £120 per 90-minute session (approximately £240 per month). Please see below for further information about my fees.

Private Insurance

I am also a recognised psychotherapy provider for Aviva, AXA Health and WPA. If you have a policy with one of these insurers, please contact them to confirm whether your policy covers you for psychotherapy work with me.
