About me
Does life feel heavy right now? You may feel disconnected from your emotions, anxious, or finding that ADHD or other neurodivergent experiences affect how you cope and where you fit in. Perhaps your confidence has taken a knock, or relationships feel more difficult than they used to.
I'm Paula, and I help people like you make sense of what is going on in your life. Even if it feels too much, we can gently look at what is happening and what changes you want for yourself.
I work with anxiety, helping you understand overthinking, manage feeling on edge, and build tools for greater calm.
I can support you with low mood or motivation, helping you take realistic steps towards feeling more hopeful.
I can help with ADHD-related challenges, offering practical strategies to improve focus, manage overwhelm, and strengthen emotional regulation.
If confidence and self-doubt are affecting you, I can help you build resilience, reconnect with your strengths, and strengthen self-worth.
I can also support you with relationship difficulties, helping you improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and build stronger connections.
I’m also trained in EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing), which can help you process difficult experiences and reduce their impact on daily life.
Clients often tell me they feel safe, supported and understood in our sessions. You do not need to have everything figured out yet, we can find the words together.
Reaching out can feel like a big step, especially if you are used to coping on your own, but you deserve support and clarity.
If this resonates with you, you are welcome to get in touch by email, phone or text using the details above. Leave your name and contact details and I will get back to you as soon as I can. If you prefer you can book an introduction call and I will call you at the time slot you choose. We can start with a conversation and see if it feels like the right fit.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Additional information
if you would like to know more,
I offer a free 20 minute no obligation telephone call, this is often a good starting point to ask any questions and share what you are hoping for, or simply talk through any expectations you have. During our call I can tell you a little about me and my therapy approach, what you can expect from your 1st session so you can feel comfortable in making the decision that feels right for you.
You may wish to share what has prompted you you to reach out and discuss any hopes or goals you have, even if you are feeling unsure of what you may need or why you are here right now that is ok too. The most important thing is that you have taken the first step towards making positive change for yourself and we can work to explore the rest together.
Sessions typically take place on a weekly or fortnightly basis, though can be adjusted to meet your needs and preferences.

Further information
My in-person sessions happen in a lovely, welcoming office on Rodney Street (L1). There are four small steps up into the building, and once inside, you'll find a comfortable and private space where I hope you'll feel at ease, therapy being a place just for you, somewhere you can be yourself.
