Hello I am Paula

I am an integrative counsellor, which means I blend the Person Centred Approach (I provide a safe, warm and welcoming environment to help you to see your own possibilities through an empathetic, genuine and non judgemental way) with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (where it is thought that all emotions and thoughts are joined and I use CBT to help negative emotions change to positive ones) and Gestalt Therapy (which helps guide you to understand yourself as a whole individual).

All I have ever wanted to do is to help people and Iove that I have helped so many already.

I am very empathetic, very genuine and non judgemental. I feel that every part of us is connected and precious and my wish would be to help every part of you, because you are important.

My aim would be to create and evolve trust between us and with that hopefully reassurance for you to feel able to share your story with me.

I have a lovely counselling room in Torquay.

I love to walk my dog around the coastlines and woods of Torbay.

Music is also a big love of mine and reading.

I am also a South West volunteer for Combat Stress, which is the UK's leading charity for veterans mental health.
