Paula Ciocirlau , BACP

Paula Ciocirlau is a compassionate psychotherapist who supports people as they face life changes, manage emotional difficulties, and work toward personal goals. She creates a calm, supportive environment where clients can examine thoughts, feelings, and patterns and develop practical steps toward lasting change. Paula approaches therapy as a collaborative process, offering guidance while recognizing that each person remains the expert on their own life.

Her therapeutic work began in 2016 in Vienna, a city with a long history in the development of psychotherapy. She practices Systemic and Person-Centered Therapy, and adapts these approaches to suit the needs of each client. Paula's professional experience and international travels have informed a culturally aware approach, helping her connect with people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

Paula holds the credential BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She welcomes clients who are ready to explore change and is committed to offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where individuals can feel heard, understood, and supported as they take the next steps in their journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Paula uses person-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client's own values and experiences guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening and can be helpful for issues such as depression, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on practical steps and achievable goals rather than dwelling on problems. This method can support people seeking clearer direction with stress, career concerns, relationship challenges, or managing specific symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Paula works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time she adjusts techniques based on progress and feedback so the work remains relevant and respectful of each person's pace.

Online therapy with Paula is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from various locations and to continue therapy through transitions such as travel or changes in routine, while maintaining regular contact and momentum in the work.
