About Paulina Szot

Paulina Szot is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines a holistic view of mind, body, soul, and emotions to support personal healing and growth. With three years of clinical experience, she offers a calm, non-judgmental space where people can explore concerns ranging from stress and anxiety to trauma, abuse, grief, depression, and major life transitions. She also works with a wide range of related issues including attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication and control difficulties, eating and food-related concerns, chronic pain or illness, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Her approach blends practical strategies with compassionate listening, aiming to empower individuals to build resilience, clarify life purpose, and navigate midlife changes or panic-related symptoms. Paulina conducts therapy in English and Polish, adapting to each person’s needs while maintaining respect and sensitivity throughout the therapeutic process.

Paulina is professionally recognised by the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which indicates adherence to established professional standards within the UK. She operates under UK jurisdiction and her practice is governed by English and Welsh law. Her counselling services are offered as conversation-based wellbeing support and are not intended as clinical treatment or medical advice. Individuals accessing services from outside the United Kingdom should note that her qualifications may not be recognised in other countries, and in such cases support is provided as non-clinical wellbeing work or coaching in line with international ethical practice.

At present, Paulina is not accepting new clients and she does not work with international clients.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Match?

Many people consider remote therapy because it can address common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and life changes. For many of these everyday difficulties, online sessions can be a practical and accessible way to engage with therapeutic support and work toward clearer coping strategies and personal insight.

One major advantage of online work is flexibility. Individuals may choose the format that best fits their routine and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy lifestyle or to continue care during transitions.

Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and many people find they can build a strong therapeutic connection at a distance. If the fit is not right, it is common and acceptable to seek a different therapist who better matches personal needs and preferences.
