Paula Ruane stress and emotions specialist

After my first session with Paula, it's hard to describe just how much of a positive impact the session had, I instantly felt a change. The work that Paula does with one self is truly remarkable and would highly recommend Paula to everyone. Thank you Paula for helping me on my new journey in life. More...

Thanks Dan, I have only just seen this and really so appreciated. It is really great to work with you and see the changes happening. Thank you for the review

Thank you so much to Paula she has really helped me the last few weeks. After going to Paula feeling stressed, severely anxious and angry her sessions have helped me massively.
The calming techniques and explaining what is actually happening as I go through these feelings and emotions made me understand exactly what is happening and how to control it & bring myself back back down from the overwhelming emotion I was feeling. Having clearer thoughts now going forward and feeling so much happier after just a few sessions. Thank you so much Paula. More...

thank you so much for this Kush, only just seen it. It has been a pleasure working with you as well and to see how inspirational you have become to others

Having travailed a vast sea of medicore therapists, Paula is like a bright lighthouse guiding you to a safe shore. She cuts through to the vital parts from Day One and provided me with such valuable tools to help me regulate my behaviour over only a few sessions.
I would heartily recommend her to anyone who's feeling a bit lost, a bit angry and doesn't quite know what to do. She will light up a pathway to a far more fulfilling future. More...

thanks for this Alexander, it is really great to have this at the outset of our session, much appreciated

I met Paula through Bark a year ago when I was struggling with excessive stress at work. On sending an email, Paula was swift in ringing back to book a discovery session with me. Over the course of the next few months my mental Health, stress management and decision making abilities massively improved. Thanks to Paula's scientific, practical and human approach to dealing with the root cause of the issues.

Paula explains the fundamentals very clearly, provides long term techniques to managing emotional triggers, follows up and is full of knowledge and experience. This, combined with her perceptiveness and friendliness makes her a coach and counsellor with very unique skills.

I highly recommend Paula for anyone who's struggling with stress, relationships and direction. More...

Thank you so much for this, KK it is much appreciated and it was a great pleasure working with you - and your referrals for which I also thank you.

I recently had a few sessions with Paula, she is wonderful to work with, and the techniques she taught me were immediately helpful to the problems I was having with controlling my emotions. Would recommend to anyone!

Thanks for this Rob, it was a pleasure and so pleased you gained so much

Our 13 year old daughter Sophie has been suffering a severe episode of depression and anxiety to a point where she had completely withdrawn from normality including school and friendship groups. We sought help from numerous therapists but Sophie's condition was so low that she was unable to talk with anybody.
I was explaining our situation with a friend who recommended Paula as an option. Out of desperation, we contacted Paula who thankfully agreed to speak with Sophie. It was extremely difficult to start with but Paula's patience and incredible gift of understanding people and how to relate to them finally started to work. Paula does not focus on the past but looks forward with a great sense of positivity, optimism and hope. We started to see improvements in Sophie's mood almost immediately, and we are now at a point where Sophie is growing in confidence daily, she is overcoming her fears and anxieties with pride and is a million miles away from where she was before meeting with Paula. We can not thank Paula enough for everything she has done and would recommend her without hesitation. More...

Thank you so much for this Adrian, it has been an absolute pleasure watching Sophie blossom to be the person she really is rather than the shadow of herself. This has been intensified by the relief you both felt - as a parent, I know only too well that a child's suffering is so much harder to deal with than our own. Thank you for this lovely review, much appreciated.

Paula came recommended to me by a friend. I've found my sessions so helpful and have taken so much from them. Paula is always able to offer me advice and useful and straightforward solutions to any challenges I'm faced with. The techniques I've learned from Paula to use day to day are tools I will always have access to. Paula's visualisation techniques helped me in understanding how the mind works and why we might react the way we do. I feel I've come a long way since starting my sessions with Paula and I have a lot to thank her for. Cannot recommend Paula enough!
Thank you :) More...

thank you so much Laura, much appreciated and it is always so rewarding so see people return to the person they are meant to be

Paula has helped me beyond words. After trying many forms of therapy Paula has finally helped me to find myself, and to find the positives in each day.
For the first time, in a long time I feel full of hope and have the tools I need to carry on in my new journey.

Thankyou Paula More...

it was great to work with you and thank you for this lovely review Josie

I’m 16 and currently sitting my GCSES, which can be very stressful. I started sessions with Paula a few months ago to help with this, and found they benefited me so much! ! Paula is amazing at teaching techniques to relieve stress and is a lovely, welcoming person!!! I completely recommend :) More...

Paula has helped me tremendously in the last 6 months , instantly having a calming and thoughtful impact on my everyday life. The techniques Paula has taught me has helped me be a calmer and better version of myself. More...

thanks for this Phil, it has been great working with you and seeing the meaningful changes.

Even though I did not choose to go through with choosing this website fully Paula in the voicemail sounded kind and willing to help so I would recommend them

It is difficult to describe just how helpful Paula has been for me. Not only did she help me with acute health anxiety, but she has also changed my perspective on life and helped me appreciate so much about what we have. She is kind and sympathetic but also extremely perceptive and able to achieve quick results. By helping me understand why I was feeling the way I was, Paula gave me the tools and information to be able to relieve my symptoms and to help prevent them from becoming an issue in the future. Even if someone was feeling good, I would still recommend sessions with Paula as she can help your enjoy life more even if you didn't realise you needed help! More...

Paula was the first therapist I enquired with and within the hour I already received a phone call booking in my first appointment. Paula has been incredibly helpful and has turned my life around in a short space of time by giving me the coping skills and tools needed to manage my anxiety, depression and traumas. She has pushed me to step out of that comfort zone and helped me set healthy boundaries and helped me gain control back in my life. I am forever greatful as I am not the same person from 5 months ago. More...

Paula is fantastic. She has a highly knowledgeable and very hands on approach. This has not only ensured that I have made incredible progress in a relatively short space of time, but has also helped me in understanding the “why’s” of the inner workings that were causing me trouble in the first place. I previously have had therapists who would just let me talk- but Paula guided me in finding answers, talking through with me both big and smaller, more everyday obstacles. She has helped me find confidence and peace. I could not recommend her highly enough. More...

amazing, she was so lovely to speak with!

Paula was lovely and amazing to work with incredibly helpful and really succeeded in improving our relationship to being healthy again. I’m so very grateful to her.

Paula has been absolutely fantastic. We came to her in a moment of desperation and with only a few sessions, there have been considerable changes seen and felt. We now both feel confident that we have the key tools needed to navigate through those stressful situations in life! More...

Thank you Jenna, it has been a very rewarding and fulfilling time for me as well.

Right from the start Paula made me feel at ease, I had no idea what I was letting my self into but I new I had to do something. She talked me through the way she worked and her technique and started me on my way to recovery , I was only able to have two sessions with Paula but in that time I had been able to calm my self down and felt so much better about myself. I can’t thank her enough for her help I would recommend anyone to contact Paula if they need help. Thank you Paula so much.. More...

Thank you so much for this Craig, it is an absolute pleasure to be a part of your journey and you have been a brilliant client. Thank you for taking this different route and having trust in the strategies and science to bring this rapid turnaround.

Really good sessions that have helped me. Paula was approachable and relatable but most importantly to me she knows the science behind the techniques and tools she shared. Very helpful!

Thank you for this Ant, it has been a pleasure and your turnaround was extremely fast. Your great attitude was a big part of this. Much appreciate the review, thank you again.

As a busy (and stressed) MD I have worked with Paula as a stress and resilience specialist for almost four years. Her knowledge and expertise and the incredible difference they make are so valuable to me in managing and preventing stress and burnout. Paula has also worked with my team - her workshops are a huge value add to our wellbeing programme.
If you are looking for a simple but highly effective approach to stress management Paula is the best. More...

Before I started working with Paula I felt overwhelmed and lacking in focus. The biggest thing I got out of working with Paula is a learning a set of simple and effective tools that I have been using to stop and prevent this. As a result I am having a happier life and confident I can tackle new things in the future. Thank you very much! More...

I have known Paula for about 18 months now, having first got to know her through her fantastic group Vertue (which I recommend taking a look at). More recently I had the benefit of her expertise in helping resolve some stress issues which were causing me to feel overwhelmed.

As a female business owner I find myself being pulled in many directions on a daily basis but in the summer, after a death, I found myself hitting a wall and unable to move forward. My business and personal life was being negatively affected and I had reached a point where I felt I couldn't get back in control without some help.

My first port of call was Paula who quickly gave me tools to get on my feet again and within a few weeks had me back to my super-duper self, able to crush it at home and with my business. Paula has a fantastic ability to get straight to the point with a directness that is filled with kindness. I like to think there is no BS with her, no pretending; just sensitive, confident skill.

I specifically wanted someone to help me help myself - to provide me with tools and guidance on how I could help myself and in Paula I found the perfect support and teacher.

Thank you Paula. More...

Having met Paula at a networking event, I found myself in self-
reflecting mode. I had been doing things at 100 miles an hour &
couldn't even see how to make myself stop.

It was natural to ask Paula to assist, indeed I was burning out and my
husband had told me I was going to work myself into an early grave.

Everyone knows you must want to make a change and commit to
doing so & if you really are serious about that change. I was ready to
do so. At times it was uncomfortable, but mostly it was liberating.

1 had just three sessions - the skills of which will last a lifetime.

Thank you so much Paula. I know you will just say "it's my job', but it
is these skills that make you a Heroine and Life Saver. I highly
recommend your services to anyone who even remotely feels
overwhelmed, let alone in all out stress. More...
