    About Me:

    My name is Paula and I am a fully qualified accredited counsellor trained and experienced in Person-Centred Counselling, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

    I am open-minded and non-judgemental and provide a warm therapeutic space where you can safely explore your thoughts and feelings, and current difficulties.

    I am compassion focused, empathic and work in a very intuitive way. As we are all different I  tailor my approach to the unique needs and individuality of each client, meaning I work in a very authentic and non-prescriptive way.

    Description of Services:

    My philosophy to counselling and therapeutic/healing work is getting to know all aspects of yourself, even the parts we find unacceptable, and becoming more conscious and self aware. I work with the inner child, shadow self, dream work and use other tools and techniques both traditional and unorthodox to facilitate self awareness and integration to become whole again.

    Sometimes the challenges we have experienced in life can leave us with unresolved trauma and with a sense of feeling lost, disconnected from ourselves and others, or even wondering if we have gone mad. It can be very helpful to talk to a counsellor about what you are going through and feel that someone understands where you are coming from and offers the appropriate support for you to overcome your difficulties.

    Counselling helps you to understand what is best for you, connects youwith your authentic self and supports you in making the changes you need to make in order to live the life you deserve.

    I work with all belief systems, and with people who don’t identify as having a belief system.

    I offer psychedelic integration. Please see my website for more details.

    I always work to the clients agenda and needs therefore I am flexible in the amount of sessions I can offer any individual client.

    Credentials & Certifications: Basic Counselling Skills; Certificate In Counselling Skills; Diploma In Counselling; Certificate In Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Level 5; BACP Certificate of Proficiency; Accreditation with BACP
    Licenses: MBACP(Accred)

  • Our Process

    Overview of Experience:

    Preparation:
    1) Assessment session to determine what you want to gain from working with me and to check we are a good fit for each other.
    2) Discuss and formulate your intention
    3) Determine amount and frequency of sessions
    4) Discuss your intended psychedelic/plant medicine
    5) Exploration of expectations, fears and risk
    6) Discuss the setting of your experience

    Experience:
    This will be facilitated with another provider. I don't offer psychedelic psychotherapy or a therapeutic sitting service.

    Integration:
    1) Discussion of your experience and the effect on you
    2) Exploration of how it links in with your intentions
    3) Exploration of what you understand your experience to mean
    4) Discussion on what you have learned and how you are going to integrate it into your life.
    5) Optional follow up sessions

    Intake Process:

    Once you have made contact we will arrange an initial 20 minute free consultation either online or via telephone. During the consultation I will explore with you your therapeutic goals, any previous episodes of therapy, carry out an assessment of physical and mental health issues as well as possible risk factors. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions.
    If we are an appropriate fit for each other we will then book your first session.
