I’ve had two sessions with Paula already and she has been the best therapist I have ever worked with, she is very patient, very supportive, understanding and very intelligent. It will take a lot of time working with Paula for me to be comfortable in my skin again and I am very confident that she will help me achieve this! I strongly recommend Paula, she’s very down to earth and brings a very strong sense of comfort with how she speaks, she is very informative. I cannot wait to continue more with Paula, I’m enjoying our sessions together!

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 believe our upbringing and earlier years have a profound effect on the adults we become, and I work with this element in therapy. 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.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I’ve only been working with Paula for 4 weeks but I have noticed a positive difference in my thought process and mind set, she is very knowledgable and make you feel very understood. I’m so pleased I was matched with her as her approach on therapy and her outlook on life has made me comfortable but also safe. Would 100% recommended her!
Paula's warm, supportive presence whilst I work through traumatic issues has been wonderful. I feel listened to, heard and understood. I like the way she is open to bringing different therapeutic modalities to our sessions - this nuanced approach enables me to move forward quickly in my healing journey.
Great therapist who is really understanding.
Paula is fantastic, I'm so glad I found her
Paula has been absolutely incredible from day one. She was able to quickly identify the areas i needed to work on and she has been incredibly supportive and helpful. Cannot praise her enough!
Paula is truly incredible, she validates my inner thoughts without me needing to vocalise what I am actually thinking. I truly feel safe in my sessions
I would highly recommend Paula to anyone, although I am at the start of my therapy journey with her she has given me hope for the future and such confidence she is the best person to support me along the way.
I've had a great experience with Paula, I came to her in a difficult period of my life and she not only helped me through this period but also gave me insights into myself and techniques to help me cope in the future no matter what heads my way. I've now got tools to better handle situations and the confidence to ask for help again if necessary.
Paula’s approach is incredibly empathetic and easy to talk to. She has been great with unpacking some issues and creating an actionable approach to tackling things. I highly recommend Paula!
Amazing
I’m thoroughly enjoying my chats with Paula, they leave me feeling excited for the week and give me things to focus on that help to develop myself
Amazing. I don't like using many words.
