Paula Rea, BACP, NCPS

Paula Rea is a BACP registered counsellor (MBACP) and an NCPS accredited member (MNCPS Accred) practising in the United Kingdom. She has four years of professional experience and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients at this time.

Paula focuses on straightforward, collaborative work. She helps people talk through trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation struggles, self-esteem and confidence problems. Her approach is conversational and practical, aimed at helping people notice what gets in the way and try different ways of coping.

She uses a mix of therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. That can include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behaviour strategies, attachment-informed perspectives and elements of dialectical and client-centred work. Paula explains options and helps people choose techniques they find useful.

Sessions are run with a clear, respectful tone and an emphasis on building steady skills for managing feelings like anger and frustration. She aims to help clients recognise patterns, try new responses and reduce the impact of difficult emotions on daily life.

Practical issues such as parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, chronic illness, caregiving stress, addiction and career pressures are also covered. Paula welcomes people who want direct, usable tools and a partner in planning next steps.
