About Moods-Matter
WHO AM I
My name is Paula, I’m the lead counsellor and founder of Moods-Matter therapy.
I believe through the process of counselling you can feel supported in a confidential, trusting safe space to voice your worries and concerns.
I feel privileged to listen, hear and support others in their journey of restoring balance back into their life.
Many people seek therapy when they are at a time in their life when they are feeling lost, low, vulnerable or experiencing difficult challenges and want their life to change for the better.
I provide a confidential safe space for you to explore and understand your thoughts and feelings, helping you to identify the small steps you need to move forward.
I am very passionate about the difference that can be made in early intervention and how therapy can support and help Children, Young people and Adults to manage and cope with current issues and concerns, as well as, assist you to identify your own resilience and develop coping strategies and techniques to use with issues or concerns you may face in the rest of your life.
