About Paula
Counsellor Paula Taylor is a BACP member with three years of UK practice experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and motivation, and supports people dealing with family conflict and addictions. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients.
Paula uses direct conversation to help people sort out what matters now. She listens to how problems affect day-to-day life and helps set practical steps to try between sessions. She offers a blend of client-centred listening, emotionally-focused work around relationships, mindfulness skills and brief solution-focused planning.
In sessions she pays attention to feelings and to behaviours that keep problems going. She can help people notice patterns, practise short mindfulness exercises, and try small changes that make a difference. When grief, low mood or anxiety are present she aims to help people manage symptoms and re-engage with everyday routines.
Paula also supports people with parenting stress, career concerns and issues linked to sexual orientation. She works with people facing eating difficulties, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD-related struggles, anger and addictive behaviours. Work may include setting clear goals and checking progress over time.
To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Fees vary with location and services use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects what is said and helps people clarify their own goals. This approach is useful when someone wants someone to listen and help make sense of feelings.Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to strong emotions and patterns in close relationships. It helps people name feelings, see how they affect actions, and try different ways of responding. This can help when family conflict or relationship-related anxiety is part of the problem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will discuss what is helpful and try different ways of working together. Decisions about methods are made with the client based on needs, goals and preference rather than assumed at the start.
The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a weekday or evening, saving travel time and keeping check-ins short when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep therapy going alongside work, childcare or study commitments.
