About Paulina | Digital Mental Health Support
Welcome to my Online Therapy Practice.
Â
I have been a therapist for my whole adult life. I care about creating a warm and uplifting therapeutic environment as well as communicating with clarity, getting straight to the point and with a sense of humour when it's appropriate!
I embrace the therapeutic process and individual pace of each person which allows us to achieve a desirable, lasting outcome.
I don't treat clients as victims needing rescuing but as resourceful people who are capable of achieving what they want, given the right support.
I am focused and determined about achieving good outcomes for my clients and that's something that motivates me. Â
I specialise in working with
trauma
stress/anxiety
self esteem issues
perfectionism
people pleasing
work stress/burnout
relationship issuesÂ
ME/CFS & FM & ME & Lupus
I
I mainly work with those issues as they are the most common problems people seek therapy for, however I am experienced and competent to work with any other mental health issue.Â

Therapies
CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is goal oriented and focused on finding solutions. By identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns it improves our emotional state and behaviours.
Â
How it can help you
Â
Helps with understanding your problem better by seeing the bigger picture and identifying what’s keeping you stuck in repetitive cycles that cause you to suffer.
The most important part of CBT happens in between sessions. You will be given tasks or practices to do between sessions to help you achieve your goals more quickly.
​
Counselling
Counselling is a non-direct type of therapy which focuses on building a therapeutic relationship and creating the right environment for the client to activate their natural self healing process.Â
​
How it can help you
​
Counselling will give you a safe and nurturing space to explore and work on your issues. It can be very powerful, especially for people who have not experienced unconditional love and acceptance in relationships. It transforms attachment style towards a more secure one.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is a type of therapy to treat trauma. It involves engaging in bilateral stimulation in order to process the trauma and reduce emotional distress linked to traumatic memories.
​
How it can help you
​
EMDR helps with getting through any emotional blockages, enabling trauma being processed and let go of successfully. It is also effective when dealing with lack of memories of traumatic experiences. Because your body remembers it, it can be processed out of the body without you having to remember the details.
​
​
Individual coaching is focused on helping you to reach your specific goals and achieve your full potential. It includes creating an action to effectively reach your goals in a sustainable way.
​
How it can help you
​
Personal Coaching greatly helps clients who feel stuck and want to put their life on the right track. It allows for quick results by focusing on accountability, finding your own strengths and overcoming challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What to expect in the first session?
The first session is an assessment session which means we will be exploring your problem in order to gain more understanding, potential origins of it and unraveling why the problem continues in your life. By the end of the first session you should have more clarity about the issue and we’ll have established a treatment plan.Â
​How many sessions do I need?
After your first session I will have an idea of how many sessions and the frequency of sessions you will require, however, I don't insist on it. I will adjust to your ability and circumstances so that the schedule works for you. Every person is different..Most clients will need 8-12 sessions, but if the problem is more complex then usually a person will need 20-30 sessions, often spread out over time and sometimes with some breaks. Some clients I see for one of two catch up sessions every 6-12 months for several years. All depends on what you need and the pace that works the best for you.
Can I use my health insurance policy to fund my therapy?
Â
Yes, I am recognised as a CBT Therapist by Bupa, AXA and WPA.Â
I am not registered with Aviva and Vitality so unfortunately we can not use their health policy for your sessions.

Paulina provided excellent therapy for me. She was caring yet challenged my thoughts just enough and with sensitivity to allow me to start addressing issues, difficult situations, from different perspectives and start feeling positve again. Thank you
I highly recommend Paulina for the therapy she has given me. Her words and wisdom have given me a new m. In other words, she diagnosed my condition where before I did not know what i was suffering with. her pointers have made such a great difference to how i feel that I truthfully, I feel like a new man (hand on the heart) and now adopt her methods in my new life, just like being born again.
