About Paula

Paula Taylor is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and the frustration that can build into anger. Paula also supports people with addictions, eating concerns, parenting strain, career issues, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and LGBT-related matters.

Paula uses straight talk and quiet reflection in sessions. She focuses on clear conversation that helps clients notice patterns that lead to snapping or simmering resentment. Sessions are practical and aim to help people recognise triggers and try out different ways of responding.

Her approach draws on client-centred work, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness practice and solution-focused methods. That means conversations centre on the person, look at emotional patterns, build simple attention routines, and set small reachable goals. The mix is intended to help reduce reactivity and increase choices in difficult moments.

Paula describes therapy as a collaborative process. She asks about what matters most, then works alongside a client to plan short-term steps and longer-term adjustments. The emphasis is on straightforward techniques you can bring into everyday life.

Sessions are delivered in English from the UK. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment via the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Paula uses client‑centred methods that put the person's experience first and emotionally‑focused ideas that look at how feelings affect behaviour. Client‑centred work involves listening closely and helping people find their own solutions, which can be useful for stress, self‑esteem and general life pressures. Emotionally‑focused elements help identify recurring emotional patterns that fuel anger and relationship strain, so those patterns can be noticed and shifted.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to build simple attention routines for managing reactivity, and on solution‑focused techniques to set short practical goals. Mindfulness can help when someone wants tools to calm their mind between heated moments. Solution‑focused steps are aimed at small achievable changes rather than long abstract plans. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work; she will explore goals and preferences with each client and adjust the approach together.

If you plan to meet online, please confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check‑in meetings when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find online work useful for practising new responses in everyday life while keeping therapy manageable alongside work and family commitments.
