Hi I’m Paula, a psychotherapeutic counsellor, hypnotherapist, and founder of Keyhole Therapy. After 17 years as a secondary school teacher and Head of Department, I saw first‑hand how stress, burnout, and life’s pressures can leave people feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from themselves. Today, I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can slow down, breathe, and explore what you’re carrying — whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, major life changes, or the emotional impact of sight loss. My work is gentle, person‑centred, and grounded in the belief that with the right support, you can find clarity, confidence,
Through counselling and hypnotherapy, I support:
• Teachers and school staff navigating burnout, stress, and emotional overwhelm
• People experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, or major life changes
• Individuals living with sight loss and visual impairment
• Anyone who feels they’ve lost their spark and wants to reconnect with themselves
My work is person‑centred, gentle, and grounded in the belief that you are not broken — you’re overwhelmed, tired, or carrying too much alone
You do not have to face these challenges alone.
