Paula Kane

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

If you’re exhausted from being strong all the time, doubting yourself, or feeling stuck in painful relationship patterns-you’re not alone.
You might be carrying the weight of childhood trauma or past abuse, always putting others first, struggling to trust, or feeling disconnected from who you are. You want to feel safe in your own body, set boundaries without guilt, rebuild confidence, and finally take back control of your life and relationships. That’s where I come in.

My Approach- Trauma-Informed and Collaborative

I specialise in working with childhood sexual abuse, domestic and sexual abuse, and harmful relationship dynamics. I combine several approaches to support healing:

Trauma-Informed Therapy – Understanding how trauma affects the brain, body, and relationships, and helping you feel safe again.

Person-Centred Therapy – You set the pace. I offer empathy, respect, and genuine connection so you feel seen and heard.

Mind-Body Awareness – Helping calm your nervous system, reduce anxiety, and build safety in the body.

Psychoeducation – Understanding trauma responses (like people-pleasing, shutdown, overthinking or hypervigilance) so you can change them with self-compassion.

Relational Therapy – Exploring attachment and patterns in relationships, so you can build healthier and safer connections.

Boundary & Self-Worth Work – Supporting you to say “no” without guilt and choose yourself without fear.

Each approach is tailored to you.

What I Can Help With

✅ Childhood sexual abuse
✅ Domestic / sexual abuse
✅ Narcissistic or toxic relationships
✅ People-pleasing or co-dependency
✅ Lack of self-worth or identity
✅ Anxiety, shame, or trauma symptoms
✅ Trust issues or fear of abandonment
✅ Difficulty setting boundaries
✅ Feeling stuck, numb, or overwhelmed

What Sessions Are Like

Our sessions are gentle, collaborative, and validating.
You don’t have to have to know where to start. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can:

Share your story at your own pace

Make sense of your experiences and patterns

Release shame and self-blame

Learn tools to regulate emotions and feel safe in your body

Build healthier boundaries and relationships

Reconnect with your inner strength and identity

Clients often say therapy with me feels like finally being understood- and finally having someone in their corner & bear witness to what they have experienced.

About

Paula Kane is a United Kingdom based therapist with 13 years of experience who supports people who feel exhausted from always having to be strong, who doubt themselves, or who find themselves repeating painful relationship patterns. She works with those carrying the impact of childhood trauma or past abuse, people who habitually put others first, those who struggle to trust, and anyone feeling disconnected from their sense of self.

She aims to help clients feel safe in their own bodies, to set boundaries without guilt, to rebuild confidence, and to reclaim greater control over their lives and relationships. Paula specialises in working with childhood sexual abuse, domestic and sexual abuse, and harmful relationship dynamics, adapting her work to each person she sees.

Her approach is trauma-informed and collaborative. She uses trauma-informed therapy to help people understand how traumatic experiences affect the brain, body, and relationships and to support a return to feeling safe. Person-centred therapy shapes the pace and direction of the work, grounded in empathy, respect, and authentic connection. Mind-body awareness practices are used to soothe the nervous system and reduce anxiety. Psychoeducation helps people recognise common trauma responses such as people-pleasing, shutdown, overthinking, or hypervigilance and to address them with self-compassion. Relational therapy explores attachment and relationship patterns so healthier, safer connections can be formed. Work on boundaries and self-worth supports saying no without guilt and choosing oneself without fear.

Sessions are offered in a gentle, collaborative, and validating way. Paula creates a non-judgmental space where people can share their story at their own pace, make sense of recurring patterns, release shame and self-blame, learn tools to regulate emotions and feel safer in their bodies, build healthier boundaries and relationships, and reconnect with their inner strength and identity. Many people say therapy with her feels like finally being understood and like having someone in their corner to bear witness to what they have experienced.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy really makes a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most needs.

One major benefit is greater flexibility – people can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to continue support when circumstances change.

Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and it is possible to switch therapists if someone wants a different match. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, effective option for addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns while working around practical constraints.
