Paula Taylor, BACP

Paula Taylor welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Paula uses a practical, caring style to help people take the first steps toward change.

Paula is based in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That means she follows the standards and guidance set out by the BACP.

In sessions Paula focuses on what matters to the individual. She listens without judgement and adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions can include exploring emotions, noticing patterns and trying small changes between meetings.

Her approach draws on client-centred work and emotionally focused ideas to help people feel heard and understood. She also uses mindfulness techniques to build awareness and solution-focused ideas to set clear, practical goals.

Paula aims to make therapy straightforward and down-to-earth. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and find ways to build confidence over time. Choosing to start is often the hardest part, and she offers steady support through that process.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the therapist. Online sessions can provide space to be heard, reflect on feelings and decide what matters most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions and how they shape relationships and reactions; used online, it helps people name feelings and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises that can be practised between sessions to reduce stress and increase calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they will try ideas, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit more easily around work and family life, reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and the ability to use guided mindfulness exercises between sessions. Confirm the available formats so sessions can be scheduled in a way that suits everyday life.
