Paulina Golozd , BACP

Paulina Golozd is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship worries, trauma and abuse, depression and ADHD-related difficulties. She speaks English and Polish and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Her approach is grounded in respect and sensitivity, and she aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

Paulina keeps sessions practical and focused on the issues that matter most to each person. She listens for how symptoms show up day to day and helps clients build clearer routines and coping strategies. Conversations are tailored to the individual, so goals and tools are chosen to fit daily life.

She also supports people with concerns that often sit alongside anxiety and mood problems, such as attachment patterns, body image, guilt and shame, isolation and obsessive behaviours. Paulina will work through the impact of life events such as divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, chronic illness, or traumatic experiences at a pace set by the client.

Over her career she has helped people with panic attacks, social phobia, trichotillomania, obsessive-compulsive patterns and post-traumatic stress. Sessions can address concentration and memory difficulties linked to stress or mood disorders and explore sexuality and relationship concerns as they arise.

Paulina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to what each person needs. She aims for a compassionate, straight‑forward style that helps people feel heard and supported while making practical changes. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step start the process.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Paulina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each person's needs. One commonly used approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety and low mood active; it focuses on practical exercises and step-by-step tasks to reduce symptoms. Another approach addresses the effects of traumatic experiences by helping people process memories and learn ways to manage distressing reactions, with careful pacing so the person stays in control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paulina discusses different options with clients and chooses methods based on their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge, and decisions are made collaboratively throughout therapy.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it simpler to keep continuity of care and fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
