About Paulina

Paulina Szot is a UK-based counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and life changes. She provides a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Sessions aim to help people feel heard and to develop practical ways to cope day to day.

Paulina uses an integrative, holistic approach that brings together thoughts, emotions and bodily experience. This means she draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person.

Background and approach

The work is collaborative and paced to match the client’s needs. She has three years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP. That registration indicates she works within recognised professional standards in the UK.

Paulina often helps people explore attachment and abandonment worries, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and problems with control or communication. She also supports those facing chronic pain, illness or disability issues, eating and food-related concerns, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions are offered in English and Polish.

Paulina provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexible options that fit different routines. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she offers support only to clients within the UK jurisdiction. People interested in starting can follow the site’s matching process to connect and arrange a first session.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Paulina lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that suit trauma, anxiety and life change

Paulina uses an integrative approach that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common method she uses focuses on grounding and breathing work to help reduce immediate anxiety and panic symptoms; this helps people manage intense moments and regain a sense of control. Another strand involves exploring patterns in relationships and attachment to understand repeated emotional responses and improve communication and boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paulina will discuss different techniques with each person and decide together what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to individual goals and preferred ways of working rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and mobility needs. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and non-verbal cues, phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and accessible for different routines and needs.
