Sadie Mansell

I do not currently have availability for new clients. I will have space opening up in January 2025. My working days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, so I will read and respond to emails on those days.

We all experience difficulties in life sometimes. Making sense of these, and finding a way through them can be challenging if we try to do it alone. 

In counselling sessions with me, you will be completely welcomed and supported to explore whatever feels important to you. I will offer you the time and space to slow down, bring mindful attention to your experience and discover new perspectives. I will listen to you with compassion, respect and hold what you share in confidence. Together we can give your difficult feelings, thoughts and emotions the space that they need to be heard, felt and understood. I will support you to deepen your connection to the things you find meaningful in life, and accompany you in finding new ways forward so you can make choices that feel positive for you.

I work in an integrative way, so counselling sessions will be different with each client, and the process will always be a collaboration with you. As well as listening to you with acceptance, I may offer mindfulness, grounding and visualisation exercises, body awareness, object work, creative or imaginative exercises, to help you to explore new perspectives, if you would like to.

I am autistic, so I have lived experience of the strengths and challenges that this can bring, and my practice is neurodiversity-affirming. I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent people towards finding self-acceptance.

I am a qualified counsellor with training in Buddhist psychology, and my practice is trauma-informed. I work online by video call or in person in central Huddersfield.

I offer a free initial online meeting of up to 20 minutes. This is an opportunity for me to explain more about how I work, and for you to ask any questions you might have.
