About Paulina

Paulina Szot is a UK-based counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression. She helps those coping with life changes and the strong emotions that follow loss or painful experiences. Sessions are offered in English and Polish.

Paulina works in an integrative way that draws on mind, body and emotions. In practice that means she listens closely, helps you name what feels hard, and tries different approaches until something fits.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and aimed at small, practical steps you can use between sessions. She also assists with attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, family of origin issues and communication problems. Chronic pain, illness and disability are included in her scope, along with eating and food-related struggles and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Paulina is professionally recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of practice experience. Her work is offered under UK jurisdiction and follows UK professional standards. People who choose her can expect compassionate, non-judgemental support and help to regain a sense of direction.

The focus is on understanding what matters to you and building manageable ways to cope day to day.

Everything Paulina lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How integrative approaches work online

Paulina uses an integrative style that blends attention to thoughts, bodily experiences and emotions. This approach helps when anxiety, depression or grief feel overwhelming because it looks at how feelings show up in the body as well as the mind.

She also focuses on practical coping skills and emotional processing. Practical skills might include breathing or grounding exercises to reduce panic and anxiety, while emotional processing helps you make sense of trauma, loss or attachment wounds.

Choosing the right way of working is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques and adjust based on what helps you most. This collaborative approach means the method can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you keep visual contact and read non-verbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer not to speak aloud or who want brief check-ins during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments.
