Paula Cash

I have a degree in psychology which underpins my practice.  I have been a counsellor for the past 12 years and I am a play therapist.  I have extensive experience of working with all ages and can offer creative ways of working alongside talking therapies for those who find working with the arts more beneficial.  Therapy will be offered in a way that best suits you and your current difficulty or your child/young person..  I shall be working with in Covid-19 guidelines and assessing risk which may mean working remotely through video sessions or telephone sessions

I appreciate that life can throw up challenges.  Some will be expected and others not.  I have experience of working with a range of difficulties.  I work in an integrative way and also have training in CBT and life coaching.  At the route of all my work is enabling clients to process their experiences, to make sense of them and to find a way forward in life that feels right for them.  In a sense finding a sense of self that is meaningful. I work with children, young people and adults.

Our first session is focussed on building trust and rapport.  This is done through an assessment session to ensure that therapy with myself is the best course of action for you at this time.  If you are referring your child/young person, then there will be the chance for us to go through an assessment to ensure that the service I offer will fulfil the needs of your child.

I have 12 years experience as a supervisor.  I have experience of supervising individual or group work.  I have experience of supervising children, young people and adult therapists. I have experience of working with all ages in my private practice and both individual and group sessions.  I have worked within schools, care homes, within large organisations and a number of charities. 

I offer individual supervision or group supervision.  This may be face to face, telephone or through video platforms such as Zoom or Skype. 

We would have a telephone session prior to commencing our work to discuss your needs and way of working and to ascertain if my way of working would suit our needs.
