About Paula

Paula Kane offers calm, steady support for people feeling exhausted, stuck, or overwhelmed by painful relationship patterns and past hurt. She helps those who doubt themselves, struggle to trust, or want clearer boundaries and more confidence. Paula writes plainly and listens carefully so people can start to feel safer inside themselves and in relationships.

Paula draws on a mix of counselling approaches to suit each person. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Background and approach

Client-centred work keeps the pace gentle and respectful, with empathy and acceptance at the core. Cognitive techniques and mindfulness practices are used to reduce anxiety and build emotional regulation skills. Her practice pays particular attention to the impact of trauma and harmful relationship dynamics.

Sessions include practical guidance about common trauma responses such as people-pleasing, shutdown, overthinking and hypervigilance. People are helped to understand these reactions and practise steps to change them with kindness towards themselves. Paula supports work on boundaries, self-worth and reconnecting with identity.

She also addresses issues such as anxiety, depression, parenting stress, sleeping and eating concerns, and career strain. The focus is on small, manageable changes that build resilience and healthier connections. With 13 years’ experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Paula offers online support across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging depending on what suits the person.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Paula’s approaches translate to online therapy

Paula commonly uses attachment-based work and client-centred practice to guide online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and interpersonal safety, helping people notice and change repeating dynamics. Client-centred practice keeps the focus on the person’s pace, offering non-judgemental listening and empathy so people feel heard and understood.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help manage anxious thoughts and build practical coping skills. CBT tools are useful for tackling worry, improving sleep, and breaking cycles of overthinking with step-by-step exercises and homework where helpful.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paula will talk through options and tailor methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional healing.
