About Paulette
Registered BACP therapist in the United Kingdom with three years' experience, Paulette Shelley focuses on relationship issues, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She offers counselling in English and accepts international clients. Paulette uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people talk through difficult feelings and change unhelpful patterns.
Paulette keeps sessions straightforward. She listens without judgement and helps people say what matters to them. She does not give direct advice but works with each person to find their own answers. Sessions can address short-term problems or longer-term concerns depending on what the client wants.
In practice Paulette uses person-centred methods to follow the client’s lead and create space for honest reflection. She also uses CBT tools to notice thinking patterns and try practical steps that can reduce distress. These methods are used together to match what a person needs in the moment.
Common topics she sees include attachment difficulties, sexual assault and abuse, domestic violence, addiction, self-harm and obsessive thoughts. She also supports people facing guilt, shame, isolation, panic attacks, hoarding, and life-purpose questions. Cancer-related emotional strain and issues about control are included in her focus areas.
Paulette describes the work as collaborative. She helps people identify patterns that hold them back and then tests simple changes. The aim is clearer thinking and more useful daily choices rather than quick fixes.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Paulette uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.

How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens without directing and helps the client clarify feelings and values. It is useful for processing trauma, relationship strain and problems with self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small tests to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like panic or low mood.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Paulette will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as the work continues and different issues come up.
The biography notes that Paulette offers online counselling but does not list exact session formats. Confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible for people in other locations to work with registered or accredited professionals without needing to travel.
