Welcome. My name is Paulette and I’m a BACP registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I suspect that you’ve had to look through a number of profiles before you reached mine, so thank you for persevering. My approach focuses on an integrative style of counselling and therapy. My work with you will be a partnership in that you will have a voice in the direction of your therapy and that this is done by working within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework.
Integrative therapy can meet the needs of the individual through a holistic approach to therapy. This involves combining ideas and techniques such as person centred, psychodynamic and gestalt therapy. However, this is all dependent on what your needs may be. How this works in practice is that it enables me to offer a more flexible and inclusive approach.
I have a friendly, warm and thoughtful style of working and as a woman of colour, I am able to consider cultures other than my own. I also work in a way that looks at how the different identities you might hold can shape the way in which life events can impact you. I look forward to hearing from you but until then take care.

Groups
Mindful Being Trauma-Informed Yoga
Trauma-informed yoga offers a gentle, supportive space prioritising emotional/physical safety. Unlike traditional yoga, it emphasises choice, agency, and body awareness rather than achieving movements. There is no “right/wrong” way—clients are encouraged to listen to their bodies and honour personal boundaries. No prior yoga experience is required, and there will be no physical touch or adjustments. Wear whatever feels comfortable. Sessions run in six-week blocks within a closed group of no more than eight clients, ensuring an intimate, supportive environment. This practice supports nervous system regulation, fosters reconnection, and nurtures safety and empowerment for personal healing.
