Paula Clements
Practical support for stress and life changes
About Paula
Paula Clements helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She supports those struggling with low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, sleep or eating difficulties, and major life changes like career shifts or parenting challenges. Paula works with a wide range of issues including ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and identity topics related to LGBT experience.
Paula describes clients as the experts in their own stories and starts from that view.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and gentle exploration rather than technical jargon. She aims to make the first steps feel less daunting and encourages small, doable changes. Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person in front of her.
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used to help people notice what matters and act in line with their values. Paula has four years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.
Her background includes supporting people through trauma, grief, addiction, and adjustment to life events. She brings a calm and straightforward style to sessions. Sessions can be paced to suit short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper patterns.
Paula aims to build trust quickly and to help people leave sessions with clear, manageable steps they can try between meetings.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take small steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes feel overwhelming.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change repeating interaction styles. This approach can help with trust issues, communication problems and feelings rooted in abandonment or attachment wounds.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that feel like a good fit. The aim is a collaborative process where techniques are chosen and adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video lets people use face-to-face contact for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are helpful if bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in suits the day. Live chat and text sessions work well for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
