Paula De Souza is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 4 years of professional experience. She works with people facing anxiety and stress, depression, relationship difficulties, past trauma, health-related concerns and caring responsibilities, among other challenges.
Paula sees counselling as a collaborative process that helps clients explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences while developing practical coping skills. In a supportive counselling environment she helps people untangle complex issues, gain clarity and consider the next steps toward the life they want to live.
Her approach is integrative, drawing on different theories and techniques to meet each person’s needs, with a person-centred stance at the core of her practice. Paula aims to offer a safe, non-judgemental space where the therapeutic relationship guides the pace and focus of the work, allowing clients to be heard and supported as they move toward their goals.
Many people ask whether online therapy really helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the mode of contact that fits their life, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to access support without rearranging too much around work, family or other commitments.
Therapists offering online sessions are licensed professionals, and if the match does not feel right it is possible to switch to another therapist. For many people, the combination of clinical support and practical convenience makes online therapy a viable and accessible option.
