About Paula
Paula Clements is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS and has four years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem problems, depression, addictions, anger and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and to build on strengths people already have.
Paula approaches therapy in a straightforward, collaborative way. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them notice what is already working. Conversations can cover how anger shows up day to day, triggers that escalate reactions, and ways to reduce snapping at others or holding on to resentment.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns from early relationships that still affect current responses. Client-centred practice keeps the focus on the person’s perspective and priorities.
Paula has experience supporting people through career stress, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and adjustment after losses. She also works with people facing ADHD, bipolar mood changes, and issues linked to adoption, caregiving and ageing. Her background includes addressing dissociation, control problems and communication difficulties.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, visitors are asked to use the online matching process and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. In practice this can mean short exercises to name sensations and pick actions that match personal values, which is useful for anger and anxiety.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns formed early in life and how they shape current reactions. This can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong responses and learn different ways to relate to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a way forward together based on the client’s goals and preferences. That means methods can be adapted as understanding grows and priorities change.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, or choosing a phone conversation when bandwidth is low. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to help people keep continuity of care while balancing everyday commitments.
