Jeremy Sachs Private Practice
Psychotherapist

I established and run a psychotherapy practice that offers both in-person and online sessions. My work is trauma-informed and intersectional, often delivered in a cross-cultural, patient-led, and friendly manner.

I also present The Trauma Talks podcast, a show exploring different experiences of trauma in each episode. I am a contributing author to Therapy Today Magazine, The Private Practice Journal, and Happiful Magazine.

 

SurvivorsUK
Psychotherapist and Group Facilitator
2017 to 2022
In 2017, SurvivorsUK—a charity supporting boys, men, and trans and non-binary people aged 13 and over who have experienced rape, sexual trauma, or abuse—invited me to design and deliver a new group therapy model for their men’s service.

Following the successful launch of this model, I expanded the work by creating and leading tailored group therapy programmes for boys aged 13 to 19 and for the charity’s trans and non-binary service. These programmes ran as weekly therapeutic groups, complemented by monthly check-in and wellbeing sessions, providing consistent and affirming spaces for participants to connect, reflect, and heal.

 

Association for Young People’s Health
Project Manager with Healthcare Professionals

I designed and implemented methodologies for research projects, facilitated participation with young people, and created youth-led, condition-specific reports. This work addressed a wide range of health concerns, including mental health, long-term conditions, acute and chronic illnesses, as well as social determinants and health inequalities.
