About Celia

Celia Paul is a counsellor with 12 years of clinical experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with clients who are struggling with low mood, grief, self-esteem and confidence. Parents and people going through life changes may find her straightforward support useful when things feel overwhelming.

She offers a calm space to talk through what is happening now and how it connects to the past. Sessions focus on practical steps that feel manageable day to day. The aim is to build small routines and coping tools that reduce intense worry and make decisions clearer.

Celia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns, test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. She encourages people to notice what already works for them and to use those strengths to manage panic, phobias and repetitive worries. Work on relationships often looks at communication and setting boundaries.

Clients describe progress in simpler thinking, fewer overwhelming reactions and more confidence in handling setbacks. She supports those navigating divorce, family tensions, pregnancy-related struggles and postpartum depression with practical strategies. Sessions also address guilt, shame, compulsive behaviours and issues linked to infidelity or jealousy.

Celia holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS in her profile. She practices in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to be scheduled according to therapist availability.

Approaches that help with worry and panic

She commonly draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. One approach helps people identify anxious thoughts, challenge them and try small experiments to see what happens. This can reduce repeated worry and panic reactions over time.

Another approach concentrates on behaviour change and gradual exposure. It encourages facing feared situations step by step, so reactions become more manageable and confidence grows. This method often helps with phobias, panic and avoidance patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That choice is a shared decision and can be adjusted as you try different techniques.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It also lets people have shorter check-ins when they need them and removes travel time, making regular work on anxiety easier to maintain.
