She works with people who have experienced trauma, abuse and loneliness, and talks through issues like low self-esteem and life changes in a calm, respectful way. Paula uses a personable, down-to-earth style so people can feel heard and understood from the first session.

Paula has four years of professional experience and is listed with NCPS. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, so goals and pace are set together. Sessions mix talking therapy with practical strategies to manage mood, cope with stress and rebuild confidence.

Her background includes approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Paula adapts tools from these methods to suit each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Common topics she supports include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also helps people facing life purpose questions, midlife shifts, financial stress and struggles with narcissistic relationships.

How Paula’s approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps people who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, by making the sessions feel steady and respectful.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses short, practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it offers clear steps people can practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paula will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that suit their needs. Decisions about which techniques to use are made collaboratively and may change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid video when they prefer, or use shorter sessions to fit a work break. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt approaches for remote work to keep sessions focused and practical.
