About Paula Harvey

My name is Paula and I am a fully qualified integrative Counsellor . This means I have several different theories that I refer to when helping you to overcome any difficulties you may be having. I am a registered member of the BACP (British association  for counselling and psychotherapy).

​

I believe that the way we function in the world, stems from our experiences. Before I qualified as a Counsellor, I taught Psychology for twelve years. I have an excellent understanding and knowledge of human behaviour and what makes us who we are. I believe, that our childhood shapes us. 

Theories tell us that, from a time in our life, before our earliest memories, we have unconsciously formed a way of being in the world. These patterns of relating to others and situations may be what is causing you difficulties.

​

Deciding to start therapy isn’t an easy decision, I know that myself. During my own journey to become a Counsellor I had my own extensive personal therapy which has totally changed me as a person.

​
I work integratively and use a range of techniques from different schools of psychotherapy. These include psychodynamic, transactional analysis, systemic, neuroscience, attachment theory and CBT.
