About Paula
Paula Ciocirlau is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She works with issues such as depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career pressures and addictions.

Paula takes a practical, person-centred approach. She aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to the individual. Clients set goals together with Paula and the work is guided by their priorities and pace.
Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems. That means Paula listens closely, helps people spot patterns that hold them back, and works with parts of the self to reduce internal conflict. Sessions combine gentle exploration with practical steps people can try between meetings.
Paula began her psychotherapy journey in 2016 in Vienna and has eight years of professional experience. Her international background informs how she relates to people from different cultures and life situations. She holds BACP accreditation as listed in her credentials.
Therapy with Paula uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. International clients are welcome, and Paula aims to adapt methods to each person’s needs.
How Paula’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels understood and able to make their own choices. Online sessions using this approach still centre on the person’s experience and goals, helping people who feel overwhelmed, anxious or uncertain.Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify small, practical steps and build on strengths. In remote work this can be especially useful for setting short-term goals and tracking progress between meetings. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s inner experience and how they relate to each other, which can help with trauma, self-criticism and complicated emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to each person’s needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques to use and when to try something different.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. It can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins around work or to join from another location without needing to travel. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the available options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged.
