Paula Spencer-Snell is a United Kingdom-based counsellor who brings four years of professional experience to her practice. She holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential that reflects formal training in counselling and psychotherapy. Paula focuses on helping people navigate a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, and the challenges that come with life changes.

Her practice also addresses more specific issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, midlife transitions, financial stress, mood disorders, and problems related to narcissism. Paula’s style is collaborative and empathetic, combining practical strategies with a client-centered stance that prioritizes each person’s goals and lived experience.

Clients can expect a non-judgmental space for exploring thoughts and feelings, and an approach tailored to individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the work, offering a supportive, non-directive space to explore feelings and personal goals. This approach is helpful for people facing life transitions, relationship concerns, and struggles with self-esteem because it focuses on building insight and personal agency.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and introduces practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is action-oriented and often includes clear strategies for coping with challenging moods or situations.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and stress management skills, which can be useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and coping with persistent pain or difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paula works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow people to access support from home or wherever they are most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists to address their concerns.
