Paula Newman

I am a BACP Senior Accredited counsellor and supervisor, offering professional therapy to individuals, couples and families in a comfortable, confidential and supportive environment.  My clients are from many cultures and I work with a wide range of therapy issues.

• You might be dealing with a crisis in your life

• Hoping to gain deeper insights into your moods and emotions

• Affected by conditions such as dyspraxia and dyslexia

• Feeling troubled by past events

• Experiencing  tensions in current relationships

• Living with the trauma of something that happened or an ongoing situation such as abuse

• Suffering with depression and anxiety

• Exploring how you wish to identify yourself

• Training to be a counsellor

• Interested in self-exploration and personal development 

Being heard and understood, without being judged or criticised can be healing in itself. As we work with the areas that are of importance to you new insights and fresh ways forward can emerge. Counselling can also be containing, providing support when that is what you need.

You are most welcome to get in touch with me to discuss counselling, supervision and Focusing training.

Based in Stanmore, I am a BACP Senior Accredited Supervisor working with experienced and trainee practitioners. I hope that you will find our supervisory relationship both supportive and gently challenging. My collaborative approach involves working together so as to understand therapeutic relationships, assist you in meeting the needs of clients and attending to your personal and professional development.

I work in private practice and also have experience supervising at a college counselling service, a young people's organisation and a general counselling placement.

My therapy approach is person-centred. As your supervisor it is my intention to support helpful and ethical practice according to your own modality.

I am also a Focusing trainer registered with the British Focusing Association. As such I am qualified to include Focusing as part of you supervisory explorations if requested.

You are most welcome to contact me if there is anything that you would like to ask, and to arrange a short, free meeting.
