Paula Clements

Paula Clements is a counsellor who supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and anger. She also helps those facing sleeping problems, addictions, relationship strain and career pressure. Paula presents her work plainly and encourages people who are taking the first step to seek help.

Paula uses a gentle, collaborative style in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are practical and grounded, with space to make sense of difficult feelings and to plan small, manageable steps forward.

Her background includes four years of professional experience and credentials with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Paula draws on several approaches to suit different needs rather than a single method.

In therapy she may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult thoughts while committing to values-based actions. Attachment-based ideas can help when early relationships affect current patterns. Client-centred work keeps the focus on each person’s priorities and pace.

Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase practical coping. Paula often helps people break down big problems into clearer steps. She supports clients who want to work on issues such as ADHD, bereavement, body image concerns and coping with major life changes.

Paula works in New York and offers therapy in English. If someone is unsure where to begin she asks simple questions to match goals with a workable plan and next steps.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose small actions that reflect what matters to them. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and persistent worry.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and reacting. It can be helpful when people notice repeated patterns in relationships, control issues or problems trusting others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape what happens in later sessions and keeps the work relevant to everyday life.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and other commitments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and saves travel time, which can help keep steady progress going without large schedule changes.
