About Paula

Paula Clements is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS, with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, anger and other life changes.

Paula writes plainly and focuses on what someone can do between sessions. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and aim to reduce the immediate pressure that can come from overwhelming feelings.

Her background includes work with attachment issues and adoption and foster care concerns. She also supports people facing relationship strain, career stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and neurodiversity-related challenges such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Therapeutically she uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based approaches, client-centred methods and psychodynamic perspectives. That mix means conversations can range from present-focused skills to thinking about past patterns that repeat today.

Paula helps people who are coping with bereavement, caregiving stress, codependency and the practical fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. Her practical focus includes coping strategies for anger, communication problems and control issues.

Sessions are conducted in English and are based in New York. To begin, readers are asked to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first appointment.

How Paula uses psychological approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and anger that gets in the way of daily life.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape reactions today. It can help people understand patterns in closeness, control and communication that feed repeated anger responses.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can explore options and make their own choices. This approach suits people who want a steady, non-directive space to talk things through.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Paula will discuss options with the client and choose methods collaboratively based on needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining present-focused skills with exploration of past patterns.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to travel. Those practical benefits help therapy sit alongside everyday life rather than replace it.
