Paula Clements, BACP, NCPS

Paula Clements is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression and addiction. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strains, anger and career stress. Paula works with people experiencing ADHD, bipolar challenges, and life changes such as bereavement or caring responsibilities.

Paula draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the work to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without being overwhelmed by them. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationships shape current ones. Client-centred listening creates a space for people to tell their story and be heard.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. Paula treats people as the expert on their lives and looks for their existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than jargon or long lectures.

Paula holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has four years of professional experience. She is based in New York and works in English. She does not take international clients at this time.

To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values rather than getting stuck. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and helps people make different choices in close connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. That may mean trying one way of working first and adjusting as needed over a few sessions.

The profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and letting people join from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals adapt the pace and activities to suit the practicalities of remote sessions.
