Best thing I did this year! So happy I started online therapy. My therapist Paula has been a genuine lifesaver for me and has made me a more reflective person, allowing myself to heal. During tough times it's been great to get an outsiders perspective on my issues.

My name is Paula, a qualified counsellor and hypnotherapist with over 5 years experience. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and find inner peace and fulfillment.
I specialise in supporting clients dealing with stress, anxiety, loneliness, grief and loss, depression, and confidence issues. I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it takes courage to seek support. That's why I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely and explore your thoughts and feelings.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, empathetic, and tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. Whether you're struggling with day-to-day stressors or facing significant life transitions, I am here to offer guidance, support, and practical strategies to help you overcome obstacles and cultivate a greater sense of well-being. You do not need to struggle on your own.
Taking the first step towards therapy can be daunting, but it's also a courageous act of self-care. If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work towards creating a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
I look forward to supporting you on your path to healing and transformation

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
