About Paulina
Paulina Szot is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Paulina aims to treat people with sensitivity and respect as they work through difficult feelings.
Her approach is integrative and looks at mind, body, emotions and wider life context.
Background and approach
She guides conversations so clients can notice patterns, understand triggers and try new ways of responding. Sessions are framed around the client’s needs and move at a practical pace. Paulina works with a wide range of concerns beyond core areas.
These include panic and panic attacks, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, family of origin themes, and struggles with guilt, shame or forgiveness. She also supports people facing chronic illness, pain, eating and food-related issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. With three years of professional experience, Paulina practises under the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That means she follows the association’s standards while offering conversational, client-led support. Sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People who prefer to speak in English or Polish can do so.
Paulina does not take clients outside the United Kingdom, and her work is presented as conversational wellbeing support rather than clinical treatment.
How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy
Paulina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test out new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on processing difficult experiences and the impact of trauma so overwhelming memories or reactions become less disruptive.Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to choose techniques that match the client’s goals, needs and preferences. Sessions can adapt over time as progress is reviewed and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video gives face-to-face contact for deeper conversations, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets clients reflect between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional coping.
