Paula Reilly , BACP

Paula Reilly is a counsellor based in Liverpool who holds a Bachelor of Honours degree in counselling from Staffordshire University and BACP membership. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. With three years of experience, she draws on work with people affected by complex trauma to inform a warm and non-judgmental therapeutic stance.

Paula regularly supports parents and caregivers, helping them to learn new techniques and to build on existing strengths. She also works with couples to increase mutual understanding, clarify expectations, and enhance relationship skills. Believing that therapy is an individual process rather than a one-size-fits-all intervention, she collaborates with clients to find approaches that best suit their needs and goals.

Grounded in a personal faith and a strong belief in the value of therapy, Paula aims to walk alongside clients as they develop self-awareness and practical tools to move forward. She is accepting new clients, including international clients, and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and emotional responses in adult life. In practice this approach helps clients explore patterns in relationships, heal from attachment injuries, and build more secure ways of relating to others.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for the client’s own pace and priorities. It supports people who need a non-directive space to reflect, make sense of their experiences, and identify their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can be especially useful for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills that can be applied in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Paula Reilly works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and combines elements from different approaches when that best supports progress.

Online therapy in her practice is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for those balancing work, family, or geographic distance. These options make it easier for people to access care from home or while traveling and to maintain continuity of support even when schedules change.
