Psychotherapy in Basingstoke and On-line
A Different Kind of Support
​
If you’re feeling anxious, emotionally drained, or stuck in repeating patterns — I want you to know, therapy can be more than a space to “cope.” It can be a space to transform.
I’m Paula, a private therapist based in Basingstoke, and I offer psychotherapy that doesn’t just address symptoms, it helps you understand yourself on a deeper level. Together, we’ll explore the roots of what you're feeling, at your own pace, with honesty, warmth, and care.
What Is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy ( sometimes called talking therapy ) is a space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with the help of a trained therapist.
It’s not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. Instead, it’s a slow, reflective process that can help you understand how your past experiences and inner world are shaping your present.
It is a collaborative, reflective process. It’s about more than just talking — it’s about being seen, feeling understood, and beginning to shift the emotional patterns that have quietly shaped your life.
​
My approach blends psychotherapy with insights from psychoanalysis, which means we don’t just focus on what’s happening — we gently explore why. We look at your relationships, your emotional history, and even the unconscious processes that might be keeping you stuck.
A Process Designed for Real Change
Price: £60.00 per session
Therapy with me isn’t rushed or clinical.
Each session lasts around 1 hour and 20 minutes, because deep emotional work needs space.
I aim for you to feel grounded when you arrive and held when you leave. This extra time creates room to breathe, reflect, and end without pressure — which is especially important for those dealing with anxiety or emotional overload.
​
People often tell me they feel something shift even in our first conversation. From the very beginning, I take time to understand not just you. Every step is tailored — nothing is one-size-fits-all.
What Makes My Work Different
I believe therapy is not about fixing you — it’s about helping you become more fully yourself, with more lightness, choice, and emotional freedom.
You’re heard — and held — from the first moment.
My process starts with a real connection, not a form or checklist.

Is This The Right Space For You ?
​
You don’t need to have a diagnosis or “big reason” to reach out. Many of my clients come feeling lost, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unsure why they feel the way they do. Others come carrying old emotional wounds or repeating the same painful patterns in relationships.
​
Whether you’re experiencing:
​​
-
Anxiety or emotional overwhelm
-
Low self-esteem or self-doubt
-
Grief, burnout, or disconnection
-
A desire for deeper self-understanding
... psychotherapy can offer more than relief — it can offer renewal.
