Paula Talling , BACP

Paula Talling is a licensed counsellor in England with 6 years of professional experience, offering an integrative approach that blends techniques from person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural methods, Gestalt and solution-focused work. She incorporates somatic processing and mindfulness to help clients tune into bodily signals and support emotional regulation.

Paula works from the view that early experiences shape the adults people become, and she explores those influences alongside present-day challenges. Her practice includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation and confidence, self-esteem concerns, and depression. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood.

Paula meets clients with practical tools and collaborative listening, helping them take steps toward clearer thinking, improved coping and greater wellbeing. Seeking change can take courage, and she focuses on empowering clients as they move toward more fulfilling ways of living. Paula is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and therapists in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections. This approach explores attachment styles, feelings of abandonment and trust, and can help clients understand relationship dynamics and build more secure ways of connecting.

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the centre of the process, with the therapist offering empathy and non-directive support. It encourages self-exploration, strengthens self-esteem, and helps people clarify their values and goals.

Somatic Therapy works with the body as well as the mind, using awareness of physical sensations to process stress, trauma and dissociation. It can support grounding, regulation and a renewed sense of embodiment.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself, and Paula collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts the mix of approaches as the work unfolds so clients feel supported and understood.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or on the go, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process toward practical and meaningful change.
