More about Paula
- 14 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a compassionate UK accredited counsellor and clinical supervisor with over 14 years experience of client work across many settings in education, bereavement and agency placements and in private practice. I have many years experience working with challenging family dynamics and relationships, attachments styles of childhood and adult presentations.
Also working with issues surrounding anxiety, stress, low self esteem and self worth, loss and separation and understanding of neurodiversity.
I am an empathic practitioner and am extremely sensitive to difference and diversity having worked across many inner and outer London education services.
I am able to understand the issues with leaving the country of one's birth and the complex challenges this can bring as the has been my lived experience.
I am a trauma informed practitioner and have experience of offering safe, non judgemental and attentive space to understand and process early traumatic experiences.
The counselling alliance provides you with that space to work through any issues at your own pace, developing insight and awareness leading to change for a better future.
I can also offer a solution focused approach which helps us set goals and encourage you to work on your own resources to find solutions to the areas of distress in your life.
Thank you for viewing my profile and I hope to work alongside you in the near future.
I generally offer sessions Tue/Wed and evenings please check my schedule for up to date time slots.
Kind Regards, Paula.

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.

Understanding and experienced. Makes me feel at ease talking to her
Paula is the first therapist I work with and I could not have found anyone better for me. She makes me feel safe and talk about things I have never been able to talk about before. Paula gives me a feeling of loving spaciousness that allows me to drop all my emotional baggage and then she wraps it up, turns it around and with only one phrase changes how I feel about it. Her kindness inspires me to be more kind to myself. I am excited about the journey and happy to have such an expert guide on my side!
