About Paula

BACP counsellor, 3 years' experience. Paula Reilly works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting and self-esteem. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, intimacy issues, anger, career questions and depression.

Paula trained in counselling at Staffordshire University and holds a Bachelor of Honours degree. Her practice draws on work with people affected by complex trauma. She is based in Liverpool and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted.

Her sessions are client-centred and attachment-informed. That means she listens to how relationships and early experiences shape current struggles. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas and narrative techniques to help people spot thinking patterns and reframe parts of their story.

Mindfulness exercises are used to build simple, practical habits for managing anxiety and stress. Conversations focus on what is happening now, and on small changes that can be practised between meetings. Paula also works on practical parenting skills and communication strategies for partners.

Paula describes therapy as a collaborative process. She invites people to explore which approaches suit them and to try methods that fit their day-to-day life. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Sheet 2

How Paula uses psychological approaches in online work

Paula draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and close relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps when relationship dynamics, intimacy or long-standing trust issues are central to someone’s concern.

She uses client-centred practice to foreground the person’s own priorities. That means conversations follow the client’s concerns and the pace is set collaboratively. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try concrete experiments that change reactions and mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Paula will help clients decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the mix as therapy progresses. The collaboration aims to test what helps in everyday life rather than stick rigidly to one method.

The biography does not list session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, or sessions where being on camera is optional to reduce demand on attention. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while focusing on realistic strategies and skills that transfer into day-to-day routines.
