Paula Talling

Paula Talling is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger and life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk through tough moments. Paula aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable for someone worried and unsure where to begin.

Paula draws on a range of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. Somatic work and hypnotherapy techniques are included when the body holds strong emotions that words alone do not shift.

Her way of working is practical and relational. Sessions focus on what is happening now, and on small changes that add up. Paula helps people notice unhelpful habits, try new ways of responding, and practise different ways of coping between meetings.

With six years of experience, Paula has supported people through trauma, grief, low mood, panic, sleep problems and difficulties with self-esteem. The biography records work with relationship and family concerns, and themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and control problems.

Paula holds BACP as the listed credential. She offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients at present. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Paula's approaches translate to online work

Paula combines Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches with somatic techniques. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships affect current reactions and helps people notice patterns in close relationships. Client-Centred work prioritises the client's agenda, offering a listening, non-judgemental space to talk things through. Somatic techniques focus on bodily signals - noticing tension, breath and movement - to help release held emotions and reduce overwhelming feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Paula will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and comfort. That means checking in about what feels right, adapting between talking, body-focused exercises or hypnotherapy elements as needed.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list session types. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. It also lets people work from a familiar setting and focus on practical skills that transfer into everyday life. Paula will discuss what will work best for timing and structure when arranging sessions.
