Maybe life has changed for you recently and left you feeling insecure of what the future may hold or maybe you are unsure of what you want from therapy and it all feels like a big muddled mess!
I'm Paula, I help people just like you to try to make sense of what is going on in your life. Even if it all feels too much, together we can take a gentle look at what is happening so you have a better idea of what is going on and what changes you would like to make for a brighter future for yourself.
Therapy is a positive step towards overcoming obstacles and allowing yourself to start to feel lighter and more at peace with yourself. One of the biggest joys comes from seeing the change people make for themselves, I truly believe that with the right support and commitment, meaningful progress and healing are always possible.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
