About Paula

Paula Kane is a counsellor who focuses on helping people carry less weight from past hurts. She works with adults who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, drained from always being strong, or who struggle with trust and low self-worth. Paula makes space for those who want to rebuild confidence and feel safer in their bodies.

Paula draws on trauma-focused ideas and attachment-based ways of working to guide healing. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual.

Background and approach

She listens, offers gentle reflection, and helps clients understand how past experiences shape present reactions. Her practice also uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. That means Paula helps people make sense of thinking patterns and try small changes that can ease anxiety and improve relationships.

She includes mindfulness exercises to calm the nervous system and support day-to-day coping. Education and professional standing are important to Paula; she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Paula combines clinical knowledge with straightforward, practical strategies so people can try things between sessions and notice gradual change.

Typical sessions focus on improving boundaries, reducing shame, and restoring a sense of agency. People may work on responding differently to old triggers, managing difficult feelings, or building safer connections. The overall aim is steady recovery and clearer choices for life and relationships.

Ways of working Paula names

How Paula adapts therapeutic approaches online

Trauma-focused work helps people understand how past harm affects the body and relationships, and it often includes grounding and pacing so clients can manage strong emotions. Attachment-based therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help people try new ways of relating in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paula works together with each person to discover which methods suit their goals and comfort level. Decisions about pacing, tools and tasks are agreed in session so the work fits the individual's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief reflections, between-session contact or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain regular appointments and to try different formats as needs change.
