Paulina Szot, BACP

Paulina Szot is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space for people to explore what matters most to them. She works with clients using a holistic perspective that connects mind, body, emotions, and spirit to support personal healing and growth. Paulina has three years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety, recover from trauma and abuse, cope with grief and loss, and navigate depression and significant life changes.

She treats each person with sensitivity, respect, and empathy, aiming to empower clients to find their own strengths and pathways forward. Sessions focus on understanding the whole person and tailoring practical, emotionally attuned support to meet individual needs. Paulina communicates in both English and Polish, and she provides a range of remote session formats to suit different preferences and circumstances.

Paulina is professionally recognised by the BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practices under UK jurisdiction and follows the related professional standards and legal framework. Her counselling services are offered as supportive wellbeing care rather than as medical treatment. If services are accessed from outside the United Kingdom, her qualifications may not be recognised in all countries and in those cases sessions are provided as conversation-based wellbeing support rather than a substitute for local licensed mental health treatment.

Integrative and Holistic Approaches for Online Therapy

Paulina works from an integrative counselling perspective, combining different techniques to suit each person rather than relying on a single method. This approach blends emotional exploration, practical coping strategies, and attention to how thoughts and bodily sensations interact - useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

She also uses a holistic framework that considers emotional, physical, and existential aspects of wellbeing. That means sessions can address trauma, grief, life transitions, and long-term health challenges in ways that honour both feelings and everyday functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Paulina will work with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques over time to match changing needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit counselling into busy or geographically spread lives. For many people, remote sessions increase accessibility and continuity of care while allowing therapists and clients to focus on progress and skill-building within a comfortable, familiar setting.
