About Paulina
Paulina Szot helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. Paulina speaks English and Polish and works with clients in both languages.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions are practical and down to earth. Paulina aims to be respectful and compassionate while helping clients make sense of difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Her approach is integrative and looks at the whole person - mind, body, emotions and values. That means she draws on different evidence-based techniques to meet each person’s needs rather than using a single method. Sessions can include talking, reflection and practical exercises to try between meetings.
Paulina has experience supporting people with issues such as attachment and abandonment, family of origin difficulties, codependency, communication and control problems, chronic pain or long-term illness, eating and food-related concerns, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also works with panic attacks, guilt and shame, forgiveness, midlife questions and finding life purpose.
She is recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Paulina offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. International clients are not accepted.
To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan if something is not helping. This collaborative way means techniques are chosen to fit the person rather than force-fitting a single method.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls let clients see facial cues and have a longer conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a camera is not wanted, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work, family and health schedules while keeping the focus on progress and wellbeing.
