PAULA MILLWOOD  Counselling
07956 653177

Taking the leap to train as a pluralistic counsellor (MSc in Pluralistic Counselling & Psychotherapy) in addition to homeopathy affords me to take a deeper holistic  approach to health – balancing mind, body and spirit.  Pluralism is a philosophy, much like homeopathy, in that we pay attention to your unique and individual needs – assuming that we can draw on a wide range of proven (and possibly unproven) ways of supporting your mental health.

Taking the leap to seek help from a counsellor can be scary and unknown. Recognising this, I welcome any tentative enquiry as a first small step – email or phone.

And when you feel safe and ready to start, our combined experience and knowledge will be used to make sense of the troubles or dilemma you are encountering. I connect with people from a heart-centred place and with a capacity for deep listening and awareness. My role is to be alongside you in exploring how we might work towards your goals, hopes or longings, choosing from a wide menu of psychological and creative methods in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.

Areas of interest and knowledge include: grief & loss, anxiety, stress, trauma (& collective trauma), disordered eating, managing chronic illness, menopause, menstrual cycle awareness, working with the elderly, creative methods to facilitate change.

I am inspired and held by nature everyday – I am registered with the Climate Psychology Alliance and actively involved in practices that connect me to our Earth. I will be offering outdoor sessions in Fife woodland or coastal locations for those who are keen to be  nourished by the therapeutic support of nature.

Registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), I work within their ethical framework and aim towards full accreditation in due course. I adopt an evidence based approach as well as my own therapeutic style of relating. I use regular supervision and CPD events to develop & support my practice.
