About Paulette Shelley

Paulette Shelley is a registered BACP therapist and a qualified integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and registration indicates that she works within recognised professional standards. She provides online counselling and aims to offer a respectful, sensitive, and empathetic space where people can safely explore their thoughts and emotions.

Her practice is rooted in a person-centred approach that prioritises the client’s own experience and perspective, helping individuals make sense of feelings such as sadness, anger, anxiety, or hopelessness. Paulette works collaboratively with clients to understand the origins of those feelings and the ways they affect daily life, rather than offering direct advice. This approach supports self-discovery and clearer insight into personal patterns and relationships.

Paulette supports both short-term and longer-term work and adapts her approach as clients' needs evolve. She specialises in relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression, and also works with areas such as attachment issues, domestic violence, substance addiction, grief, obsessive and compulsive concerns, panic, self-harm, and questions of life purpose and self-love. She invites people who are ready to begin a process of exploration and healing to reach out and take the next step toward change.

Client-centered and CBT approaches for online therapy

Client-centered therapy is focused on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people explore feelings, increase self-awareness, and build confidence in making changes that align with their values and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to shift them. CBT is often used for difficulties such as anxiety, depression, and problems with mood or unhelpful coping habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Paulette will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. The selection of techniques is made together, adjusting as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Paulette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from their own location, making it easier to fit therapy into daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
