About Paula
Paula Rea is a registered counsellor who works from the United Kingdom. She has four years of professional experience and supports people facing anxiety, depression, addiction and everyday pressures. Paula helps clients who are dealing with grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain and confidence issues.
She also lists phobias among her areas of focus. Paula takes a straightforward, collaborative approach in sessions. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgement.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and paced to suit each person’s needs. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, along with concerns such as sleep and eating difficulties, anger and career stress. She also addresses more complex presentations like bipolar symptoms, ADHD and co-morbidity, while recognising how these issues affect day-to-day life.
Paula draws on a mix of evidence-informed approaches. She uses methods that encourage present-moment awareness, examine unhelpful thinking patterns and strengthen emotional skills. Sessions can involve reflection, skill-building and practical steps to try between meetings.
People who choose Paula tend to want a calm, non-judgemental space and practical tools for coping. She aims to support self-directed change, helping clients notice what matters to them and take manageable steps towards it.
How Paula’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for issues like anxiety, depression and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them, which can help with phobias and persistent worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and therapists can adjust techniques as progress is made.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for different needs and schedules while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
