About Paula

Paula Taylor is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or struggling with issues like grief, self-esteem and motivation.

Paula also helps with concerns around addictions, eating, anger and career questions. She offers support for people navigating family conflict, parenting strains, bipolar symptoms, ADHD and LGBT related issues. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon or long assessments.

Her approach is grounded in listening and responding to what each person brings. Paula uses Client-Centred methods to follow the client’s lead, and she draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with staying present and reducing worry.

Paula adapts short-term Solution-Focused ideas when clients want specific goals and fast steps forward. Together she and the client plan small, manageable actions and review progress regularly. This keeps work focused and practical.

People who come to Paula can expect straightforward talk, agreed goals, and a plan they can try between sessions. To begin, clients are asked to use the site matching steps to choose a time for an initial conversation.

Working with EFT and client-centred care online

Paula commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help identify repeating emotional patterns and shifts in how people respond to strong feelings. EFT can be useful when emotions are hard to name or when relationship patterns keep causing pain. Client-Centred Therapy is also central to her work and means she follows the client’s lead, listening closely and reflecting what comes up to help clarify concerns.

She uses Mindfulness Therapy techniques to bring attention into the present moment, which can reduce rumination and ease anxiety. Each approach is presented as a tool rather than a fixed programme, and Paula discusses which methods best fit a person’s goals during the first sessions. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process based on needs, preferences and what feels most useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a workday, avoid travel time, or join from a quieter place without needing to be on camera for a whole session. Registered or accredited professionals using online formats often combine focused emotional work, practical goal-setting and mindfulness exercises so clients can try new ways of responding between appointments.
