About Paula
Paula Clements is a counsellor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and problems with motivation. Paula writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person.
She believes clients are the experts in their own stories. Paula draws on that belief to help people notice their strengths and use them to move forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual rather than following a rigid script. Paula uses a mix of approaches that suit different needs. She often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centred listening and attachment-aware ways of looking at relationships.
This combination supports practical changes and deeper understanding of how past experiences shape current reactions. With four years of professional experience and credentials listed as BACP and NCPS, Paula brings both practical skills and reflective practice to her work. She aims to make each session simple and useful, helping people build coping tools for difficult moments.
People come for help with a wide range of issues, including addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career worries, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and relationship difficulties. Paula also notes experience with topics like abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and body image concerns. Her approach is warm and direct.
Sessions focus on small, manageable steps and on finding what works in everyday life.
Approaches for online therapy and practical benefits
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them and focus on values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and low motivation by helping clients choose small steps that matter to them. 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 supports developing gentler ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs and goals. This means trying ideas, reflecting on what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed route.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls enable a face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options give flexibility so therapy can continue around work, family commitments and day-to-day life.
