Who is this service for?

• If you are suffering from anxiety or feeling stressed in situations where you used to cope well.
• If you are increasingly avoiding situations/people or managing your fears by repeating compulsive behaviours (e.g. hand washing, checking and obsessive rituals before you can drive/leave the house).
• If you are taking out your anger and stress on those you love (verbally and/or physically).
• If you are having trouble controlling your temper (getting frustrated and angry when it is inappropriate or unhelpful to do so).
• If you are struggling to get over a traumatic event/s (e.g. can’t stop thinking about it, nightmares, irritability, anxiety, isolation, depression).
• If you are feeling depressed and finding it hard to manage everyday problems and decision-making.
• If you are struggling to get through life-stage problems (bereavement, retirement, illness-diagnosis, parenting or relationship problems, adjusting to moving house/country).
• If you are dealing with feelings of distress and loneliness by drinking alcohol and you want help to control or stop drinking.
• If you are unable to use French Psychological services because your French communication is not good enough.

If you are experiencing any of these difficulties and you are motivated to change then Psychology-helps could help you.

What people have said

“Prior to meeting Dr Paula Martin I had no knowledge or experience of psychology and what it involved. After an initial assessment we started trauma counselling (CBT) sessions. I quickly realised that I needed psychological assistance and that Paula was the right person to help me. I am now in possession of various tools to assist me during times of anxiety.”

“I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Paula Martin if you need trauma counselling. She is very professional, very attentive and has helped me to view things differently to enable me to reclaim my life after experiencing mental trauma after a car accident. I am so please that I made the initial contact with her because that was the hardest thing, but also the best thing, for the path to my recovery.”
