About us
Our Mission and Values

Meet Paola...
My name is Paola Ciancimino, a therapeutic counsellor with full DBS clearance and a registered member of the BACP, committed to its Ethical Framework.
I offer a Person-Centred approach, where sessions are client-led, creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their concerns at their own pace. I believe in each person’s capacity to find their own answers, and I support that journey with empathy and compassion.
When words are hard to find, we can also explore emotions through creativity, CBT, and other tools.
I have experience providing face-to-face and online counselling for a range of issues, including addiction, abuse, anxiety, depression, OCD, low self-esteem, and suicidal thoughts. I have also worked with a national bereavement service offering short-term telephone support.
In addition, I have supported young adults with anxiety, depression, and learning difficulties, helping them build confidence and develop coping strategies for education and life.
