Paula Ciocirlau, BACP

Paula Ciocirlau is a compassionate psychotherapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, and a wide range of other concerns. She creates a supportive setting where clients can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and work toward meaningful, lasting change while remaining the expert on their own lives.

Paula approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She and each client set goals together and choose methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences, with an emphasis on personal growth, emotional resilience, and increased self-understanding. Her practice blends Systemic and Person-Centered approaches when appropriate, adapting to what feels most helpful for the individual.

She began her psychotherapy journey in 2016 in Vienna, a city historically linked to the development of psychotherapy, and her international life experience informs her culturally aware approach. Paula is a BACP-registered therapist - BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body that represents counsellors and psychotherapists and sets practice standards - and she is experienced in working with clients from diverse backgrounds. She welcomes clients as they take steps toward change and offers steady, empathetic support throughout the process.
