Paula Charnley

I offer face to face Counselling

Online Counselling & telephone sessions

I  am a Person-Centred Counsellor this means that you will  feel heard, validated and accepted for who you are without judgement. I create a safe & confidential place where you can talk about your situation, thoughts and experiences. Person Centred Counselling means that we will go at your pace to explore whatever it is that has encouraged you to reach out for support.

This process helps you to connect with your inner world & to sort out what is troubling you or holding you back. In my own experience I have found Person-Centred Counselling to be very empowering,  it allowed me to discard old belief systems, make appropriate choices & generally feel much happier in myself.

I am a qualified yoga teacher and practitioner therefore I have a holistic understanding of mental, physical and emotional health. During a session I may introduce, Focusing, breathing, grounding and or relaxation techniques. as well as some creative therapy like drawing

Extensive travel and many years of living in the Netherlands mean that I have an understanding of cultural and social differences. I embrace diversity, it also means that sometimes I can bring a perspective to our work together which is outside of our own familiar culture

If you would like a short telephone call before you make an appointment please let me know.

In the first session I will outline how I work & our contract for working together

This includes my adherence to the BACP ethical framework , particularly Confidentiality.
