Paula Appleton

Paula works with people on issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction and grief. She also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes.

She uses an integrative style, drawing on approaches like the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation.

Paula explains things plainly and helps people map out realistic goals. Paula has experience supporting Deaf and hard-of-hearing people and uses Signed Supported English and British Sign Language at a qualified level.

She also works with clients facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, eating and sleeping problems, and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD. Work in sessions can include skill-building from cognitive behavioural methods, exploring values and acceptance from ACT, and strengthening emotional connection informed by attachment thinking.

The aim is to find tools that fit each person’s life and needs. Paula balances active skills practice with listening and reflection.

Practical details are straightforward. Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and she is open to international clients.

Costs vary by location and are managed through a cancellable subscription model. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
