About Paula
Paula Clements is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and addiction-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, sleep or eating difficulties, career and life transitions, and issues linked to ADHD and bipolar mood changes. Paula is listed with BACP and NCPS and works from New York.
Paula believes people know their story best and brings a respectful, listening approach to sessions. She encourages clients to notice strengths they already have and to try small changes that feel manageable. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical next steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems in place.
Her ways of working draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred ideas to help people clarify what matters to them. Attachment-based and psychodynamic perspectives are used to look at how past relationships shape present feelings and reactions. These approaches are blended to suit each person rather than applied in a fixed order.
With four years of professional experience, Paula aims to make early sessions simple and clear. She will listen to immediate concerns, set practical goals, and agree how to work together. Paula uses plain language and short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection when needed.
If someone is thinking about starting, Paula asks them to begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. This helps make sure the work fits the person's current needs and circumstances.
How these approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, choose what matters most to them, and take small actions that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current emotions and reactions, and it can help people with relationship, abandonment or attachment-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paula will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which approaches to use, and the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.
Details about session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try talking therapies from wherever they are based in New York while keeping focus on practical steps, values and relationship patterns rather than on rigid techniques.
