Paula Ciocirlau, BACP

Paula Ciocirlau is a dedicated and compassionate psychotherapist who supports people as they navigate life challenges and work toward meaningful change. With eight years of clinical experience, she creates a welcoming and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and develop clearer self-understanding.

Her practice emphasizes a collaborative approach to therapy, in which the client remains the expert on their own life while Paula offers guidance and practical support. Together they set goals and select approaches that match each person’s unique needs, helping clients move toward the changes they want to make.

Paula began her psychotherapy training in 2016 in Vienna, a city with deep roots in the development of psychotherapy. She offers Systemic and Person-Centered Therapy, and she adapts her method to what feels most helpful for each client. Her life experiences, studies, and international travel have informed her sensitivity to cultural differences and her ability to connect with people from varied backgrounds.

Paula holds BACP credentials, indicating membership in a professional UK counselling and psychotherapy association. She is committed to listening carefully, understanding each person’s story, and supporting them as they take the next steps on their journey.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for accessible care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead. It helps people increase self-awareness, build confidence, and work through emotional challenges at their own pace.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical goals and small, achievable steps. This approach is useful for clients who want to identify strengths, find workable solutions, and make progress on specific issues such as stress, relationships, or life transitions.

Internal Family Systems offers a way to understand different parts of the self and how they interact. It can help clients who are dealing with internal conflict, trauma responses, or longstanding patterns by encouraging compassionate curiosity toward inner experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Paula works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts methods as therapy progresses so clients receive the most helpful support.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living abroad. These options allow clients to meet with licensed professionals from locations that work for them while maintaining continuity of care and convenience.
