Paula | Counsellor
Introduction
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
BACP Accredited Counsellor with over 10 years’ experience supporting individuals within NHS settings and private practice.
A warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space is offered where clients can explore difficulties at their own pace and feel genuinely heard and understood.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether struggling with low mood, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, loss, or a sense of feeling stuck. Therapy offers a confidential space to reflect on experiences, understand patterns that may be affecting wellbeing, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating to self and others.
Trained in Counselling for Depression (CfD), an evidence-based therapy developed for use within NHS services, with experience supporting adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. The therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to individual needs.
Online therapy
Online counselling sessions take place via Microsoft Teams, offering a secure, confidential, and convenient way to access therapy from the comfort of your own home or another private space.
Sessions last 50 minutes and work in much the same way as face-to-face therapy, providing a safe and supportive environment to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences. All that is needed is a stable internet connection and a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable talking openly.
Online therapy can offer greater flexibility and accessibility, helping clients fit counselling around work, family, or other commitments while still building a strong therapeutic relationship.
