Paula McKee, BACP

Paula McKee is a UK accredited counsellor and clinical supervisor with more than 14 years of direct client work across education settings, bereavement services, agency placements, and private practice. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional affiliation within the UK counselling field.

Her practice includes extensive experience with complex family dynamics and relationship issues, and she works with attachment styles that present in both childhood and adult life. She supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and self-worth, loss and separation, and offers informed understanding around neurodiversity.

Known as an empathic practitioner, she has worked across inner and outer London education services and is sensitive to difference and diversity. Her own lived experience of leaving the country of her birth informs her understanding of the particular challenges that can accompany migration and relocation.

As a trauma-informed practitioner, Paula provides an attentive, non-judgemental space for exploring early traumatic experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Her approach blends attachment-based and client-centered perspectives with solution-focused techniques to help people develop insight, set practical goals, and mobilise their own resources to address areas of distress.

Paula brings a measured, compassionate presence to clinical supervision and therapeutic work, supporting reflection, increased awareness, and practical steps toward change.
