About Paula
Paula Taylor helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make sessions feel calm and practical. Paula's counselling focuses on small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life.
She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with grief, family conflict, addictions and eating concerns, as well as people exploring career questions or neurodivergent traits such as ADHD.
Background and approach
Paula lists bipolar and LGBT matters among her areas of interest and offers coaching-style support when useful. Paula uses an adaptable, person-centred style. That means conversations are guided by each client's priorities rather than a fixed script.
She also draws on emotionally-focused approaches to help with relationship feelings, solution-focused techniques to build immediate steps, and mindfulness to manage intense thoughts and sensations. Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Paula keeps plans practical and collaborative, so clients leave sessions with clear ideas to try between meetings. She encourages people to take the first step even if they feel unsure. Initial sessions focus on understanding what matters most and agreeing small, achievable goals.
Paula aims to provide steady support while clients build skills and confidence.

How Paula's approaches fit with online therapy
Paula uses client-centred work to keep sessions focused on what the client cares about. That approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and adapts the conversation to each person's aims. It helps when someone needs a safe place to make sense of feelings and decide on practical next steps.She also draws on emotionally-focused techniques to help people understand and shift how they respond in important relationships. This can be useful for managing intense emotions, grief or recurring family tensions. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple ways to notice thoughts and calm the body, which can reduce overwhelm and improve concentration during the day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. The plan is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is a good fit for fuller conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick reflections or fitting support around a busy day. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from different locations and schedules.
