Finding and choosing to book sessions with Paula was the best decision I could have made in the midst of anxiety and panic attacks, as a new Mum. As soon as I spoke to her on the phone, I knew she understood exactly how I was feeling. Professional but incredibly warm and friendly. I left every session feeling like a weight had been lifted. Would not hesitate to contact Paula again if I found myself in the mindset I was then.
