I have helped dozens of students become better equipped to handle the stresses and strains of being a young person in over a decade of experience working in a professional setting. I also work in collaboration with local tutoring business Robertson’s Education Centre in Broughty Ferry, Dundee to help students with issues such as anxiety and stress that can pop up in the process of academic tutoring.
I dedicate my therapeutic skills in Psychotherapy to young clients with highly personalised support so they can learn skills and tools to manage well and thrive in the unique set of challenges they face.
I am committed to safe practice and my philosophy is to partner students in facilitating change. My approach is goal and outcome oriented and I combine an atmosphere of understanding, compassion and empathy with tried and tested tools.
What can I help with?
In sessions I will guide the young person through the process of how to resolve their issue so they can move from coping to thriving, be equipped to live a life they feel good about and create a future they are inspired by.
Sessions available In Person and Online
Client success stories
'I just wanted to reach out and give you a huge thank you. You were working with my son just before lockdown and I just wanted to give you an update. It’s no exaggeration to say you changed his life. Before working with you he could hardly leave the house, couldn’t go to school and couldn’t eat outside the house. He’s now in his second year of a Law Degree having got As in all his school exams, he ended up with 9 Highers all at A grade. It’s so nice to see him enjoy life! Thank you so much, you genuinely changed his life.' P.A. (Dundee)
‘My 16 year old daughter has been working with Paula since September, focussing on coping strategies for anxiety. She has successfully navigated prelims using the strategies Paula offered and is feeling more confident about being able to cope with her forthcoming Higher exams. Paula is lovely to chat to, very warm and reassuring and clearly very knowledgeable about how anxiety ‘works’. Immediately after one of our early sessions, whilst walking to the car, my daughter said ‘she is very good at her job!’ high praise from a 16 year old.’ Elaine (Dundee)
