Paula Wilkinson

I am available to work online or face to face.

Hello, my name is Paula and I am a compassionate, person-centred counsellor, based in Waltham Abbey. I am dedicated to supporting both adults and children as they navigate life's challenges. 

In addition to my counselling qualifications, I am Cruse Bereavement-trained, and for the past four years, I have had the privilege of working with clients who are coping with their lives after the death of a loved one, understanding the profound difficulties this brings.

As well as my private practice, I work as a counsellor within a large primary school, supporting children aged 5 to 11.

My commitment is to offer compassionate care tailored to your unique journey. I aim to create a welcoming space for you to explore past wounds, navigate current challenges in work or personal relationships, and concentrate on the present moment. Centred around the therapeutic relationship, my approach emphasises listening and understanding. I integrate on a variety of approaches to meet your individual needs and circumstances.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard, and to work through difficulties at their own pace within a confidential setting, and I'm here to gently guide you in making sense of your challenges, emotions, and recurring patterns. I deeply value the uniqueness of each client, fostering an environment of inclusivity and celebration of diverse experiences.

I offer a short free introduction by phone or video call, so that we can get a sense of each other and how it might be to work together.
