About Paula
Paula Taylor helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to move forward. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and motivation, and people dealing with addictions or mood fluctuations. Paula speaks plainly and aims to make a first conversation feel manageable for someone worried or unsure.
She uses conversational, person-focused ways of working that put the client at the centre of each session. That means listening closely to what matters to you and shaping sessions around your priorities.
Background and approach
Paula adapts the pace and techniques to fit how you like to talk and what you want to achieve. Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Paula draws on several approaches to help people make practical changes and build emotional awareness.
In sessions she may use mindfulness to help you notice thoughts and feelings, solution-focused ideas to set clear short-term goals, and emotionally-focused techniques when feelings are getting in the way of daily life. The emphasis is on small, useful steps you can try between meetings. Paula aims to be respectful and compassionate throughout.
She will collaborate with you to create a straightforward plan and check progress along the way. For someone taking a nervous first step, her approach is calm and down-to-earth.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will talk with you about your goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. This is a collaborative process and she adapts methods as you progress and your needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you see each other and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to arrange therapy around busy lives and different communication preferences.
