About me
If you are experiencing difficulties and would value a calm, safe space to consider what changes you might want to make, I work from a garden-based therapy room in Leicestershire., which can offer privacy and support. I am Paula and if you want to talk tome about therapy with me, I'd be delighted to hear from you..
I am passionate about working with people at difficult times in their lives and aim to offer support whilst you explore what can sometimes be a life changing situation.
During our lives we are sometimes presented with news that is hard to take in and even harder to deal with. Receiving the news that you or a family member has a terminal illness or that your unborn baby or child is ill places our lives in complete turmoil.
If you have suffered loss of a loved one or colleague and are now faced with the challenge of returning to the workplace or life in general this might be a tricky time - you may find it hard to adjust and feel totally over whelmed. I am able offer you a listening ear and walk alongside you as you explore a new way of being.
At such times as this it may be difficult to talk to a relative or a friend, or take in and understand all the medical information you might be provided with. By taking time to talk to me and share your fears, worries and concerns in a calm, non judgemental setting I will listen and try my best to help you manage at what is a difficult time.
I offer an initial assessment appointment for us to explore what type of support might be required. This will give us an opportunity to meet and for you to visit my garden based therapy setting to see whether we feel that we will be able to work together in the future.
I am also able to offer initial assessments via telephone or zoom.
Give me a call to share what is causing you to consider support at this time and we can arrange a time for an assessment.

Member organisations
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.
