About

About Paula

Paula Clements is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, anger, career questions and life changes such as bipolar challenges or ADHD.

Paula works in English and practices from a strengths-based view that sees each person as the expert on their own story. Paula uses a straightforward, warm approach in sessions.

Background and approach

She listens and reflects, then helps people try practical steps that fit their life. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to look at values and small, manageable changes. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect how someone connects today.

Her background includes a UK credential and four years of professional experience. Paula combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic thinking to notice recurring patterns that can feel stuck. She aims to build a trusting working relationship and to pace the work to what each person can manage.

Sessions are aimed at helping people make clearer choices, handle difficult feelings and improve day-to-day coping. Paula encourages small experiments between sessions and keeps the work practical and relatable. If you want a calm space to talk things through, she offers a steady, empathetic presence.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the platform process. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Online support

How Paula's approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and difficulties where motivation has faded. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and feelings, helping people who struggle with trust or repeating the same relational problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Paula will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs shift or new priorities emerge.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing easier scheduling around work or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone better, or let people choose audio-only conversations if they prefer not to use video. Many people find that remote sessions let them maintain continuity of care while balancing daily responsibilities.
