I\u2019m Paula and I\u2019m really glad you’re here. If you’re considering counselling, you’re in the right place.<\/em><\/strong>  <\/p>\n

I’m a fully qualified BACP registered, Person Centred counsellor based in Didsbury with a wealth of experience supporting adults in my private practice.<\/p>\n

My work often focusses on supporting people through:<\/p>\n

Trauma 
<\/b>Stress 
<\/b>Anxiety 
<\/b>Depression 
<\/b>Low self esteem 
<\/b><\/b>Relationships
Bereavement and other significant life changes<\/b><\/p>\n

Life can bring difficult and challenging times for us all. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to face it alone.  With the right support, meaningful change is always possible.  
<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an experienced bereavement counsellor, I understand how deeply personal and complex grief can feel.  You may be seeking a space where you can make sense of your loss, at your own pace, with care and compassion.  Alongside my private practice, I have worked alongside a bereavement charity as a volunteer for many years, which also helps me to provide knowledgeable support to my clients.<\/p>\n

In addition to my professional qualifications, I have a rich depth of personal life experience that shapes a grounded and compassionate approach.  As a wife, mother and daughter, I understand the complexity of balancing the many roles we carry throughout our lives.  I believe this lived experience allows me to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood and supported.<\/p>\n

My goal as a counsellor is to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, make meaningful changes and find a way forward. I want to assure you that you are not alone in your struggles and that positive changes can be made through counselling. <\/p>\n

I chose this profession because I genuinely care about people and their wellbeing.  I’m deeply committed to supporting individuals as they work through challenges and strengthen their emotional health.  My own journey of self awareness and growth through counselling has shown me how powerful it can be to have a safe, non judgemental space to speak openly.  Because of this experience, I truly value being able to offer that same understanding and support to others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
