Counselling in Shrewsbury

Working with Adults, Couples and Young People across Shropshire.

Paula Reynolds Counselling Shrewsbury.

I am a qualified, person centered, counsellor and psychotherapist (MBACP) based in Shrewsbury. Working with adults, couples and young people (11+) to help with a diverse range of issues, including anxiety, depression, domestic abuse and drug and alcohol dependency. I have specialisms in loss and bereavement, trauma, relationship therapy, couples therapy and psycho sexual therapy.

How can I help?

Support for Couples

Romantic relationships are characterized by mutual emotional, intimacy and physical attraction, with a commitment to share life together and everything it brings.

Trauma

Trauma is the physical, emotional, psychological response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event/s that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope.

Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse is a pattern of behaviour by an intimate partner, who tries to control, dominate, manipulate or harm.

Bereavement

Bereavement is the experience of losing someone significant, and grief is the emotional response to that.

Young People

Counselling for young people is a specialized area of practice.

How can I help

I am a warm, approachable and caring therapist. I will value you as an individual and work alongside you, as you begin to explore what you have chosen to bring to the counselling sessions. Placing great importance on creating a respectful therapeutic alliance, where you will feel safe and comfortable to explore your issues.

My Practice

The fundamental part of my practice is the client-counsellor relationship, which I believe to be the heart of successful therapy. I will work collaboratively with you to determine which way of working suits your current situation and your needs.

My Sessions

I provide a professional, safe, confidential, non-judgemental and respectful space in which you can explore recent and long standing personal issues and gain a greater understanding of your unhappiness and distress and find a way to manage this.

What can you expect?

Each session will last for 50 minutes, typically once a week, others will prefer more frequent sessions and they will take place at my private practice in Shrewsbury and Ellesmere. There is also the option of telephone and online counselling.

The duration of therapy can either be short-term or long-term depending on the issue.
