About Paula
Paula Talling is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She speaks plainly and offers steady support to parents and adults who want clearer ways to cope. Paula draws on calm listening and practical tools so people can take small steps forward.
She works in a person-centred way, starting from what matters to each individual. Paula pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. That means she will notice attachment themes and how they show up in daily life.
Her practice also includes somatic work, which uses bodily awareness to help process strong emotions. Hypnotherapy is another option she offers for focused relaxation and exploring unhelpful habits. Paula blends these approaches with psychodynamic ideas about past experience and present difficulties.
Across sessions she aims to build a non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. Conversations are practical and rooted in everyday concerns like sleep, anger, parenting stress and coping with change. She supports clients to try new ways of responding and to notice what helps between sessions.
Paula holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked in the field for six years, helping people with trauma and abuse, panic, self-harm, body image and relationship issues among other concerns. If you want to begin, there is a short matching questionnaire to complete before scheduling.
Approaches that guide online work
Paula commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and person-centred practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people spot repeated responses in close relationships. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s priorities, so sessions follow what matters most to the individual.She also uses somatic techniques to bring attention to bodily sensations. That can help when emotions feel stuck, showing how tension or breathing link to anxiety or anger. These approaches can be useful for stress, panic, grief and processing trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adapt methods to fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying practical steps and checking in about what helps as therapy progresses.
