About Paula

Paula Taylor is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, worry, family tension or grief. She explains things simply and aims to create a calm, respectful space where parents and adults can talk about what matters most to them. Paula holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) recognition and has three years of professional experience in the UK.

Her work often helps people facing low mood, loss of motivation, low self-esteem and difficulties with addiction or eating. She also supports people navigating parenting challenges and LGBT related concerns. Sessions begin with listening to the person’s story and identifying practical steps that feel achievable.

Paula adapts the way she works to each person. She uses client-centred ways of working to keep the conversation focused on the client’s perspective. She draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand and shift painful feelings, and brings in solution-focused techniques to identify small, manageable changes.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals and options. Paula emphasises respect and sensitivity and will co-create a plan tailored to individual needs. Her approach aims to help people find clearer direction and steadier emotional footing in daily life.

Paula works in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. If you are considering therapy, she asks that you use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

How these approaches work for online and remote support

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead. It helps people feel heard and build clearer personal goals, which can be useful for stress, low mood and parenting worries.

Emotionally-focused therapy looks at patterns in how people experience and express emotions. It helps make sense of strong feelings and can reduce repeated conflict or emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest methods that suit those aims. Decisions about how to proceed are made collaboratively rather than imposed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around daily life and less travel time. Online options can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins when time is limited, or to choose audio-only if a person prefers not to use video. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking so you know which options are offered for scheduling and day-to-day convenience.
