About Paula
Paula Talling is a counsellor who aims to help people experiencing anxiety, panic and related worries. She writes plainly and talks through what’s happening now and what keeps things going. Paula offers a calm presence and practical ways to manage strong feelings so daily life becomes easier to live with.
Paula works from a mix of approaches that respond to each person. She listens for how early relationships shaped current patterns. She also uses body-focused work and mindfulness to notice how stress shows up physically. Sessions are aimed at understanding triggers and building coping skills rather than relying on labels.
Her background includes six years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Paula draws on person-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking and somatic methods. She combines these to tailor therapy to what a person needs in the moment.
Typical concerns she addresses are stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, sleep problems, grief and low self-esteem. There is also a focus on relationship issues, communication problems, abandonment and attachment concerns, and panic disorder and panic attacks.
Paula invites people to take small steps at their own pace. She encourages honest conversation about what works and what doesn’t. The aim is to leave sessions with clearer choices, fewer overwhelming moments, and a steadier sense of self.
How Paula’s approaches work in online therapy
Paula uses attachment-based ideas and somatic methods alongside a person-centred way of working. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current responses and helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily signals and can help when anxiety or panic shows up as tightness, breath changes or other body sensations.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. Paula will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful based on the client’s goals, life circumstances and comfort with different techniques. She adjusts pace and methods as those needs become clearer in sessions.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy around busy schedules and reducing travel time. Please confirm available session formats before booking, as these are arranged through the platform. Online options can make it easier to keep appointments during the working day or to check in without a long commute, while still allowing for exercises that focus on bodily awareness and breathing techniques.
