About Paula
Paula Clements is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with life changes including natural or human-caused disasters. Paula is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS accreditation.
Paula works in a straightforward, respectful way. She believes clients know their own story and that therapy is a collaboration. Sessions focus on small, practical steps and on noticing personal strengths. She speaks plainly and aims to make each meeting feel manageable.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on values and workable actions. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Paula also uses client-centred listening to make space for the client’s experience and psychodynamic ideas to consider patterns that repeat over time.
With four years of experience, Paula has worked with people dealing with loss, major life changes, and complex emotional responses. She encourages people to try small experiments between sessions so learning carries into daily life. Her approach suits those who want a blend of practical tools and deeper understanding.
Paula is based in New York and offers sessions in English. If you want to begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy process to match and arrange a first session.
How Paula’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear on what matters to them and take small, workable steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with big life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and expectations, which can help when trust, loss or recurring relationship patterns are causing distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will discuss different options and try things together to see what fits. The focus is on client goals, preferences and what feels practical for daily life, with adjustments made as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit a meeting into a break at work, avoid travel time, or choose a quieter moment at home. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Talk with Paula during the matching process to agree the best session arrangements for your situation.
