About Paula
BACP counsellor Paula Byrne has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and intimacy-related issues. She also offers support for concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and blended family difficulties.
Paula began her working life in hairdressing and barbering, then moved into roles in a GP surgery, a homeless hostel and with the Samaritans. Those experiences shaped how she listens and what she values in counselling. She describes her practice as non-judgemental and relaxed, and she aims to be honest and grounded in sessions.
Her approach draws on attachment-based work, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural tools, emotionally-focused ideas and Jungian perspectives. In practical terms that means Paula helps people talk through patterns in relationships, notice thoughts and behaviours that cause distress, and explore feelings that sit under those patterns.
Paula works at a pace chosen by the person she is seeing. Sessions are adapted to what feels manageable, with an emphasis on clear listening and steady progress. She encourages people who feel overwhelmed to take small steps and to build on the strengths they already have.
People who contact her can expect straightforward conversation about what is most pressing, some practical techniques to manage difficult moments, and time to reflect on deeper emotional patterns. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns of closeness and distance and try new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person’s experience, with the counsellor offering attentive listening and reflection to help make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, and offer practical strategies to change them.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Paula will work collaboratively to choose which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels most useful and adjusting the approach as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy week, makes it easier to keep sessions consistent, or allows for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Online sessions can also allow for focused work on thoughts and relationships without the need to travel, which some people find easier to maintain alongside daily life.
