Therapy With Sade

You've lived like this for many years and may have built a life that looks good from the outside, but something under the surface still feels off. You have toiled for what you have, you've been hurt often along the way, but you've kept it moving. You are now tired of pretending that everything is okay; what you usually do is no longer working and you are now seeking a new way.  Deep down, you feel it is time to slow down, to look within and start to perhaps put your real self first. 

It is possible you wonder if there is someone out there who can 'get it'. Everyone is talking about 'go to therapy' but where do you even start with a complete stranger? You may have searched for a Black British therapist online or Therapy for Black People UK but how do you know who is real?

I am Sade, I am as real as it gets, and I offer you my highly confidential online service. As a qualified Black African female therapist in the UK, I provide compassionate, culturally aware counselling and psychotherapy tailored to your unique needs. I am a registered and accredited psychotherapist and counsellor, and I offer support to adults navigating a range of emotional and psychological difficulties. 

What I offer

Are you looking to be supported in understanding yourself and making meaningful change in your life? 

Are you going through the type of difficulties you feel could have been prevented and wonder why you find yourself in that place over and over again? 

Do people see only one side to you while knowing there is a deeper side that no one sees?

I offer therapy to adults for the navigation of: 

Relationship struggles such as: Patterns of unhealthy relationships, Attachment, Finding a mate, Peer Relationship issues, Trust issues, Abandonment issues, Marital and Premarital issues, Domestic Abuse, Family Conflict, Affairs and betrayals, Separation and Divorce, Reconciliation and repair...
