Paula Samantha

Hi, Im Paula, I'm currently in training to become a psychotherapist, a journey that combines my ten years experience of working in the education sector, where I've dedicated myself to supporting individuals with their mental health and overall well-being.

 My work is centred on providing a safe space for people to be truly seen and heard. This is a core belief of mine, as I understand that many of the mental and social challenges people face stem from the profound need to be acknowledged and understood..

I'm passionate about helping people realise that mental health challenges are not a life sentence but rather a signal that something in our lives requires attention, processing, and recognition. I aim to inspire self-awareness, recognising that to conquer life’s experiences, we must first understand ourselves and the factors that shape our perspectives and decisions.

I intend to assist individuals in exploring their unique qualities and identities. I believe Nurture With represents the very essence of looking at the whole person, considering their lived experiences and how those experiences shape their day-to-day reality.
