More about Paula

10 years' experience
Female
BACP

I am qualified counsellor based in the UK with 10 years of professional work experience.

My expertise lies within supporting clients who have experienced domestic abuse, sexual abuse & violence - supporting them through the effects that this has within their lives. I also have a proven track record of supporting young adults aged 16+ dealing with a range of issues such as bullying and low confidence. If you are struggling with low self worth, negative & intrusive thoughts and notice yourself having a lack of boundaries and are people pleasing- this is something I would really love to help you with- to help you re discover your self worth and build on your self -esteem.

Living with negative thoughts about yourself can be frustrating and exhausting- and it can hold us back from living the life we want to. By working with me we can explore how and why you are feeling the way you do- and take steps to change this.

It can be daunting deciding to reach out to a counsellor. I am approachable and friendly, and I pride myself on the numerous counselling relationships I have successfully built. Feedback from my client base is that I make online therapy very comfortable, and that my clients feel at ease discussing difficult issues with me, from the first session.

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.
