About Paula
Paula Clements is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She helps clients working through grief, low self‑esteem, motivation problems and relationship struggles. Paula speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps in therapy easier to take.
Paula takes a respectful, person‑centred approach. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversations rather than jargon.
Background and approach
This helps people make changes they can notice day to day. Her background includes four years of professional experience and registration with BACP and NCPS. Paula has worked with a range of concerns including addictions, sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, bipolar and ADHD.
She also supports people facing loss, abandonment and attachment difficulties. In sessions Paula combines elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment work and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets her address current problems alongside patterns that developed earlier in life.
She adapts the way she works to match what each person needs in the moment. People can expect warm listening, straightforward questions and practical tools to try between meetings. Paula encourages small, realistic steps so clients can build confidence as they go.
If you want a counsellor who listens and helps you make manageable changes, she may be a good match.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change over time as different issues come up.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are close to an in‑person meeting and suit deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check‑ins, brief problem solving or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving between sessions.
