About Paula
Paula Kane offers calm, steady support for people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or difficult relationship patterns. She speaks plainly and meets clients where they are, helping them feel more in control and less stuck. Paula is based in the United Kingdom and brings 13 years of experience to her counselling work.
Paula uses a mix of approaches that focus on relationships, thoughts and bodily responses. She listens closely to each person's story and helps them notice how early experiences affect current choices.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to reduce shame, rebuild confidence and make practical steps towards clearer boundaries. In practice Paula blends client-centred care with attention to attachment and thought patterns. That means clients set the pace while she helps identify unhelpful beliefs and small actions to try between sessions.
She also introduces simple mindfulness and grounding tools to calm anxiety and improve sleep. Paula works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, parenting stress, low self-worth, anger, career worries and changes such as grief or life transitions. She also supports people affected by chronic health issues, neurodiversity and adoption or foster care histories.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual. Paula explains reactions, suggests practical exercises, and helps people build skills to feel safer in themselves and their relationships. The goal is clearer choices, kinder self-talk and better day-to-day coping.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Paula works collaboratively to decide what to try first, based on someone’s goals, history and how they respond. She regularly checks in and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online formats allow the same kinds of therapeutic conversations as face-to-face work while offering flexibility. Video calls suit in-depth dialogue and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging are useful for brief updates, reflection, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or health needs and support consistent, ongoing care.
