About Paula
Paula Clements is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has four years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and parenting challenges. Paula also supports people facing relationship strain, eating or sleeping difficulties, ADHD and major life changes.
Paula uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people name what is hard. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to explore values and action. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Client-centred listening and psychodynamic thinking inform longer term themes and patterns.
Sessions focus on what people want to change and on small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Paula encourages people to track what helps and what does not, and to use that information to shape future sessions. The work is collaborative - the person in front of her is treated as the expert on their life.
Her experience includes a broad range of concerns tied to family and parenting, such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress and communication problems. She also supports people managing chronic health challenges, body image and control issues.
Paula practises from New York and works in English. The profile lists professional registration as BACP and NCPS. To start, people follow the site's matching process and book an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps that match those values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people understand and change those patterns in everyday interactions. Client-Centred Therapy offers a listening, non-directive approach that lets people lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and clarifies.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Paula will discuss different ways of working and try methods that fit the person's goals and preferences. Over a few sessions the approach can be adjusted based on what proves most helpful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around childcare, work breaks or commutes. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when time is limited, the option to avoid being on camera, and the ability to keep therapy in step with a busy home life. Registered and accredited professionals aim to make these arrangements practical and workable for everyday routines.
