About Me

My name is Paula and I obtained a post graduate certificate in counselling and psychotherapy in 2017. Previously I studied psychology with a particular interest in developmental psychology and language. Undergraduate research included both quantitative and qualitative methods.

The counselling certificate gave me a thorough grounding in two paradigms - the person centered approach and the psychodynamic approach. (validated by COSCA counselling and psychotherapy)

​

I started counselling earlier this year in Edinburgh and bring with me to this role: a wide range of experience including a background in working with children from all ages including those suffering from trauma. 

One of my main concerns today is around mental health - adults, youth and children and how this impacts on education, health and relationships.
