About Paula

Paula Clements is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures, sleep problems and career uncertainty. Paula encourages practical steps and small changes that feel manageable for everyday life.

She keeps therapy straightforward and focused on what matters now. Sessions often look at personal strengths and past patterns to find clearer choices.

Background and approach

Paula listens without judgement and helps people name what is getting in the way of feeling better. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets her combine present-focused skills with attention to earlier life experiences that shape reactions today.

Conversations can include noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying values, and gently looking at old relationship patterns. Paula has four years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works with adults who want to make steady change rather than quick fixes.

The focus is on practical coping and building confidence to handle day-to-day challenges. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. People in English-speaking settings will find a straightforward, calm style that aims to make the process as simple as possible when starting out.

How Paula uses therapy models online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivation concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop different ways of relating and managing emotional triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula treats this as a collaborative process: she will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust along the way if something does not feel helpful. Clients help decide which methods to keep or change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow a live face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and needs while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical coping.
