About Paula
Paula Kane is a counsellor with 13 years' experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by their relationships and past hurts. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self‑worth and boundaries.
Paula aims to create a calm space where people can speak at their own pace and start to feel more grounded. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice to make sessions feel relational and respectful.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help manage anxious thoughts and improve sleep. Paula pays attention to how the body and mind respond to past harm, and she explains these reactions in plain language so they make sense. Paula commonly helps people untangle patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty trusting others, and trouble saying no.
Practical skills are offered alongside longer-term exploration of how earlier experiences shape current relationships. She supports people to build boundaries, regain confidence, and find calmer ways of coping with life’s pressures. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual.
Paula aims to help people notice small changes that make daily life easier. Her approach mixes listening, practical tools, and gentle challenge so clients can make choices that suit their lives. Paula works with both short-term goals and deeper emotional work, and she welcomes conversations about how therapy might fit around work and family commitments.

Online support
Choosing the best mix of approaches is part of the process. Paula works collaboratively to find what fits each person’s needs and goals. She will talk through options, try different techniques, and adjust plans as progress is made so therapy suits practical life demands.
Online therapy brings practical benefits for people balancing busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from wherever someone is based. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who want written reflection, more flexible timing, or moments of support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, study, or travel while still working with a registered or accredited professional.
