About Paula
Paula Reilly is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and major life changes. She works with those coping with trauma, grief, anger and depression, along with concerns such as intimacy, career questions and issues around family life. Paula holds BACP as her listed credential and brings three years of practice experience to her work.
She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions are led by the person in the room and shaped around their needs. Paula emphasises listening first and then helping people find approaches that feel right to them.
In her background she trained in counselling at Staffordshire University and completed a Bachelor of Honours degree. That academic foundation is complemented by practical experience working with people affected by complex trauma and related challenges. She also has a professional interest in supporting parents and caregivers to build and strengthen skills.
Her style draws on several ways of working, including client-centred methods, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and narrative approaches. Paula aims to help people gain clearer self-understanding and practical ways to manage day-to-day pressures.
She invites anyone ready to start to take a first step, explore different approaches and find a helpful path forward. The focus is on small, steady progress and on supporting people as they work toward greater self-awareness and change.
How Paula’s approaches can work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the person find their own way forward; this can help with self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with change. Attachment-Based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and can be useful for intimacy, trust and family-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers concrete strategies to manage anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paula will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps and adapting the plan as progress is made.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by saving travel time, offering shorter check-ins between face-to-face sessions, or allowing sessions that suit a busy schedule. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use a mix of approaches online to help people make steady, practical changes without disrupting daily routines.
