Hello and welcome!
I’m Sadie (they/them / de. en, em), and I’m so glad you’ve found your way to Crescendo Counselling!
I’m a psychological counsellor who is training as a music therapist, a human rights advocate, and a creative.
What began as a simple counselling space has blossomed into a dynamic environment offering individual, partnership, and group counselling, alongside community workshops, training, and facilitation.
My deepest wish for the world is that every person is treated with care, kindness, and respect. Above all, I believe in honouring and uplifting our inherent human dignity and worth.
Together, whether in individual, partnership, or group counselling, or through workshops, we’ll co-create a space for healing and growth where we can:
- Explore and deepen our understanding of our inner worlds
- Examine and celebrate our intersectional identities
- Recognize trauma as a normal response to abnormal or extreme situations, acknowledging that trauma’s impact varies from person to person
- Tap into the power of our inner strengths
- Cultivate meaningful connections and a sense of belonging
- Live authentically, embracing who we truly are
I’m here to support you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.
Whether you're in Berlin, Germany, or connecting with me online from across the globe, I'm here to support you on your journey in person and online with counselling sessions for individuals, partnerships, and groups.
Navigating Life While Living One’s Authenticity
Drawing from my own experiences as a queer individual, I understand the unique hurdles and triumphs of navigating life while living one's authenticity.
Crescendo Counselling is driven by a commitment to counteract the harm inflicted by uninformed mental health practices. Here, you'll find a sanctuary grounded in intersectionality and trauma-informed care, where we form a therapeutic alliance that honours every facet of your identity.
Together, we can address a spectrum of challenges, including:
- Navigating the complexities of coming out and familial dynamics
- Confronting stigma and discrimination with resilience and grace
- Managing the intricacies of relationships and dating within diverse contexts
- Tackling mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma
- Exploring and affirming your gender identity, sexuality, and journey of transition
- Cultivating healthy communication, consent, and boundaries
- Navigating the landscape of polyamory and other non-traditional relationships
- Cultivating self-acceptance and embracing your authentic self
- Managing emotional turmoil and fostering resilience
- Understanding and honouring your sexual desires and expressions
- Pursuing personal growth and self-improvement
- Navigating life transitions with confidence and resilience
- Coping with stress and combating burnout
Why Crescendo Counselling?
A "crescendo" is more than a musical term—it's a metaphor for the transformative journey we embark on in therapy.
Just as a crescendo builds gradually, so too does our inner work leading to growth, empowerment, and integration. My work is guided by my passion for music therapy, specifically Guided Imagery and Music psychotherapy.
A journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment
Taking the courageous step to seek counselling is an act of vulnerability, and I am deeply honoured by your trust.
I'm committed to creating an affirming, equitable therapeutic space that celebrates the rich tapestry of sexual orientations and gender identities. Together, let's embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.
To ensure we're the right fit, I offer a free initial session where you can feel truly seen, heard, and valued for who you are.
