Intuitive Therapies

My name is Paula Caffrey (MBACP accred). I am a fully qualified counsellor, trained and experienced in Person-Centred Counselling, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

I am a Royal Navy veteran and work with veterans, military personnel and their families.

Counselling is not the only therapy that I offer, but it is one of the more complex (and most popular) therapies, so I will first explain how I work during my counselling sessions.

I am compassion focused, open-minded and down to earth. I believe that we all possess innate wisdom and the capacity to heal from life's traumas, given the right environment and a strong therapeutic alliance.

I tailor my approach to suit the unique needs of each client, allowing me to work authentically, intuitively and in a non-prescriptive way.

making the unconscious conscious

I am passionate about working with the inner child and exploring the unconscious mind, which I believe is an untapped reservoir of potential and wisdom. This facilitates shadow work, a crucial component in lasting healing. Carl Jung considered the shadow to be the buried and hidden dark side of the personality.

I believe that many of the difficulties we face stem from rejection of aspects of self (both positive and negative), which in turn leads to feeling disconnected and lost.

My philosophy with regards to counselling and therapeutic/healing work in general is that it is crucial to get to know all aspects of ourselves - even the parts we find unacceptable - and to become more conscious and self aware.

I work with all belief systems, as well as with people who don’t identify as having a belief system. I always work according to the client’s agenda and needs, so I am flexible in the amount of sessions I offer.

If you are looking for a therapist who is empathic and will listen without judgement or agenda, you are welcome to contact me and I will be honoured to help.

My other services

I offer various other therapies that tackle issues from different angles. Each of the below therapies also works perfectly well on its own, but when combined with counselling the results can be even more profound.

For clients who have had experiences with psychedelics and wish to integrate confusing experiences, I offer psychedelic integration.

Many of my clients benefit from Reiki energy healing, either as a standalone service or in conjunction with counselling.

I also run cacao ceremonies, which offer clients a perfect opportunity to let go of emotional baggage, have some fun and connect with others.

MY POETRY

I love to convey my philosophies, feelings and experiences in the form of poetry. I hope you find it inspiring!
