About Paula
Paula Clements helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family strains, sleeping and eating issues, parenting challenges, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD and major life changes.
Paula works with a wider range of focus areas including attachment issues, adoption and foster care, body image, caregiver stress and dissociation. Paula emphasises a straightforward, person-focused approach.
Background and approach
She treats people as the experts in their own lives and looks for practical ways to build on existing strengths. Sessions are conversational and aim to make change feel achievable rather than overwhelming. Her style blends several therapeutic ideas.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. Attachment-based work looks at early patterns that shape current relationships. Client-centred techniques offer a warm, non-judgemental space to talk.
Paula trained and now holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She has four years of professional experience and is based in New York. She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients.
Therapy can start with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session. Paula uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time. She aims to make appointments fit into busy lives and to help people move forward one step at a time.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and offers new ways to relate and feel safer with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paula will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and different challenges arise.
Online sessions give practical advantages for many people. Video calls let you meet face to face when distance or schedules make in-person sessions hard. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good short check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or need flexible, on-the-go contact. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
