About Paulina
Paulina Szot is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. She works in a calm, respectful way and offers a space to talk about what matters most. Paulina communicates plainly and aims to help clients feel heard and understood from the first session.
Paulina uses an integrative, holistic approach that considers thoughts, feelings and bodily experience together. Sessions focus on building practical coping tools and on making sense of difficult emotions.
Background and approach
Conversations may include breathing and grounding strategies alongside reflective work about patterns and relationships. She has three years of experience and is professionally recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her UK practice follows the standards and expectations connected with that membership.
Paulina explains that her counselling is offered as wellbeing support, not medical treatment. Sessions are available in English and Polish and can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients are not currently accepted; her work is provided within the United Kingdom.
People often come to Paulina for help with panic attacks, attachment or abandonment worries, family of origin issues, chronic illness or pain, codependency and feelings of emptiness. She aims to support clients to build small, steady changes that fit their daily life.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Paulina commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques presented in an integrative way. One approach focuses on grounding and breath-based tools to reduce panic and acute anxiety; these are short exercises you can practise in a session and at home to help with sudden symptoms. Another strand centres on reflective, exploratory dialogue about attachment and family patterns so clients can spot repeating habits and make different choices in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paulina works collaboratively to decide which techniques to try based on a person’s needs, goals and what feels manageable. She checks in about progress and adapts methods so they fit everyday life rather than insisting on a single model.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work if being on camera feels difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and practise skills between meetings.
