About Paula

Paula Taylor helps people with stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief, low self-esteem and motivation, and behaviour concerns such as addictions and eating difficulties. She uses talking therapy to explore what’s causing distress and to develop practical ways to manage feelings and daily pressures. Paula is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Paula works in a client-centred way, focusing on what matters to the individual in each session. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions affect relationships and personal wellbeing. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase awareness of thoughts and feelings in the moment. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people identify small, achievable steps towards clearer goals.

Sessions aim to be practical and direct. Paula listens and helps people try out different approaches, from short skills practice to talking through past events that still cause pain. She also offers coaching-style support for career concerns and motivation when people want to set and reach personal goals.

Her work covers issues often connected to identity and relationships, including LGBT matters, parenting stress and the particular challenges of mood variation such as bipolar. She supports people dealing with anger, grief and the knock-on effects of anxiety on daily life.

Paula works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. Her approach combines respect for each person’s experience with focused methods to help people find clearer coping strategies and forward steps.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the individual. It aims to build a collaborative relationship so people can talk through current problems and decide what to try next. This approach helps with low self-esteem, motivation and everyday stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how feelings shape relationships and personal behaviour. It involves noticing emotional patterns and trying different ways of responding, which can be useful for family conflict, anger and relationship-related stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will decide which methods to use. That may mean mixing listening-based sessions with mindfulness practice or short solution-focused tasks between meetings.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises or brief skills practice between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt the structure to suit a person’s day-to-day routines.
