About Celia
Celia Paul is a counsellor and CBT therapist practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Her stated focus includes phobias, panic, obsessions and compulsions, and issues around family and relationship breakdowns.
She approaches sessions with the view that clients are experts on their own stories and already hold strengths to build on. Conversations are practical and focused on clear steps clients can try between sessions. The aim is to help people notice patterns, test new ways of reacting, and reduce distress in everyday situations.
Celia uses cognitive behavioural approaches alongside other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She often helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, then works with them to develop alternative coping strategies. This can be useful for social anxiety, panic, phobias and mood difficulties.
Her background spans a range of common life stresses such as relationship strain, grief and family of origin issues. She has experience supporting people through divorce, infidelity, guilt and shame, and the emotional effects of pregnancy and childbirth.
Sessions are conducted in English and Celia does not accept international clients at this time. Practical matters such as fees vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
CBT - Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people test unhelpful beliefs and try new responses, which can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.Behavioural techniques - These include graded exposure and activity planning. They help people face feared situations step by step and rebuild confidence after avoidance, which can be useful for phobias and social anxiety challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree what to try first. This is a collaborative process based on the client's goals, day-to-day needs and preferences.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work, avoiding travel time and making it easier to attend from familiar surroundings.
