Paula has been an amazing therapist and I wouldn't be the same person today without her help and understanding, and the skills that she has helped me develop. She has been kind, compassionate and professional throughout, and has been able to accurately challenge my ways of thinking in a way that helps me understand my problems in a new light. She was always quick to respond to my messages, no matter what the issue that I raised was, and was able to give helpful advice as it was needed.

Hello, my name is Paula and I am a licensed Counsellor in England with 6 years of professional work experience. I am an Integrative Counsellor, using skills from different approaches., Person

Centred, CBT, Gestalt and Solution focussed therapy. I use somatic processing, listening to our bodies and include mindfulness in my work.

I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you on your journey. I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
