Celia Paul , NCPS

Celia Paul is a qualified counsellor and CBT therapist practicing in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low motivation, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. Her practice also includes support for depression and a range of related concerns such as communication problems, control issues, family difficulties, and the emotional fallout of separation or infidelity.

Celia approaches therapy from a collaborative stance, believing that each person is the expert on their own life and already has strengths to draw on. She aims to help clients identify those strengths and build practical skills to navigate the issues that bring them to therapy. Taking the first step toward change can feel difficult, and Celia positions herself as a steady, compassionate partner throughout that process.

She holds the NCPS credential, a professional credential that reflects her training and qualifications in counselling and psychological support. Celia provides care focused on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors her approach to the needs and goals of each individual seeking help.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Celia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. CBT typically involves practical exercises and tools that can be applied between sessions to support ongoing progress.

Alongside CBT, she offers supportive counselling that focuses on listening, building coping strategies, and exploring emotional responses to life events such as grief, relationship challenges, and separation. This approach helps clients process difficult feelings while developing clearer communication and problem-solving skills.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Celia works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust methods so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and access from home. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments while receiving support from a licensed professional.
