Paula Ciocirlau

Paula Ciocirlau is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She supports clients dealing with parenting pressures, career concerns, grief and trauma, as well as issues like self-esteem, anger, addiction and ADHD. Paula speaks English and Romanian and brings eight years of practice to her work in the United Kingdom.

Paula works in a collaborative way. She treats the person, not just the problem, and invites clients to set clear goals together. Sessions aim to be practical and centred on what matters to each individual. She uses straightforward tools to help people make changes that fit their everyday life.

Her background includes study and early practice beginning in Vienna in 2016, a city noted for its psychotherapy history. That international experience informs her sensitivity to cultural differences and how life circumstances shape well-being. Paula holds BACP accreditation, which is listed among her professional details.

In therapy she draws on client-centred and systemic ideas alongside Internal Family Systems work. That mix gives space for understanding internal parts, practical solutions and a focus on the client’s own experience. Sessions typically combine listening, gentle challenge and practical steps to try between meetings.

People who contact Paula can expect a calm, non-judgemental approach that concentrates on clear goals. She encourages steady progress and helps clients develop coping strategies for everyday challenges. To begin, clients use the site’s matching and scheduling process to arrange sessions.

Working online with client-centred and solution-focused methods

Paula draws on client-centred therapy, which places the client’s experience at the heart of the work and emphasises being heard and understood. This approach helps when people need a steady, empathetic space to make sense of feelings and begin to change.

She also uses solution-focused methods that hone in on small, achievable steps and clear goals. These techniques suit people who want practical strategies to manage problems like anxiety, stress or relationship tensions. Internal Family Systems work is used to notice and work with different parts of a person’s inner life, which can be helpful for issues such as trauma responses, self-criticism or conflicted feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods together and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to offer feedback so sessions remain focused on their needs and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments, saving travel time and allowing people to meet from familiar surroundings. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they suit your needs and schedule.
