Sadaf Butt, BACP

Sadaf Butt helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions and grief. She supports those facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress and depression. Her practice also addresses ADHD and a range of family and communication problems.

Sadaf uses a person-centred way of working that puts the person and their experience first. She aims to make conversations straightforward and non-judgemental. People can expect a calm, warm space to say what matters to them and to find practical next steps.

Her background includes three years of clinical practice. During that time she has worked with issues such as abandonment and attachment problems, avoidant personality traits, blended family challenges, codependency and body image. She has also supported people through divorce, separation, domestic violence and coping with dissociation.

Sadaf draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She adapts these approaches to each person's needs and preferences, combining talking therapy with grounding and mindfulness strategies when useful. Sessions aim to build emotional skills, improve communication and reduce distress in daily life.

She is a BACP Therapist and is listed as a Registered Member MBACP. Sadaf offers work in English, Punjabi and Urdu and accepts clients based in the United Kingdom and international clients. To begin, clients use the site process to match and schedule sessions.

Evidence-based approaches and what online work looks like

Person-centred work focuses on listening and understanding first, then shaping the sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings, clarify priorities and set manageable goals.

Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting overwhelmed, which can reduce day-to-day stress. Cognitive behavioural ideas involve spotting patterns of thinking and testing new ways of responding, useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will review concerns, goals and preferences together and try methods that suit the person’s needs. If something does not help, adjustments are made so the work stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access a therapist who speaks English, Punjabi or Urdu even if they are outside the therapist’s local area.
