I’ve had therapy before but Paula works completely differently and has genuinely changed my life within only a matter of weeks. She understands and shares her own experiences which I find very helpful.

I’ve had two sessions with Paula already and she has been the best therapist I have ever worked with, she is very patient, very supportive, understanding and very intelligent. It will take a lot of time working with Paula for me to be comfortable in my skin again and I am very confident that she will help me achieve this! I strongly recommend Paula, she’s very down to earth and brings a very strong sense of comfort with how she speaks, she is very informative. I cannot wait to continue more with Paula, I’m enjoying our sessions together!

Paula has been an amazing therapist and I wouldn't be the same person today without her help and understanding, and the skills that she has helped me develop.
She has been kind, compassionate and professional throughout, and has been able to accurately challenge my ways of thinking in a way that helps me understand my problems in a new light.
She was always quick to respond to my messages, no matter what the issue that I raised was, and was able to give helpful advice as it was needed.
