Paulina Szot , BACP

Paulina Szot is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who creates a respectful, non-judgmental space for clients to explore what matters most to them. She works with an integrative, holistic orientation that considers mind, body, spirit, and emotions to support healing and personal growth.

Paulina has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and significant life changes. She aims to respond with sensitivity and compassion, helping clients build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and find clearer direction during challenging times.

Her practice is professionally recognised by the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and operates under UK law and professional standards. Her services are offered as counselling rather than medical treatment or clinical advice. If services are accessed from outside the United Kingdom, her qualifications may not be recognised in other jurisdictions and, where appropriate, support is offered as conversation-based wellbeing guidance rather than a substitute for locally licensed mental health care.

Paulina approaches each relationship with respect and an aim to empower clients as they work toward their goals and personal growth.

Integrative and evidence-based approaches for online support

Paulina uses an integrative, holistic approach that draws on evidence-based techniques to address emotional, psychological, and relational concerns. This approach blends attention to thoughts and emotions with an awareness of bodily responses and personal values, helping people cope with stress, depression, and life transitions.

She also uses trauma-aware work that focuses on creating stability and pacing the process of processing painful experiences. This kind of approach helps those dealing with trauma or abuse to build safety, improve regulation, and gradually work through distressing memories and reactions.

Alongside these methods, Paulina applies practical, skills-focused strategies that teach concrete coping tools for anxiety, panic, and day-to-day stress, supporting clients to manage symptoms while they explore deeper issues. Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process - Paulina works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the best techniques to meet their needs.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility. Sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity through life changes, and access support from familiar surroundings while working toward meaningful change.
