My Psychological Wellness

My Psychological Wellness Paula Slater MSc Psych GMBPsS:
Helping adults and children discover the very best version of themselves. This is where I come in.

Since 2004, my mission has been to help and empower adults and children to overcome their most challenging obstacles and start living happier and healthier lifestyles. My extensive experience means that I'm fully equipped to guide, support and assist you in building the life you clearly deserve. I have a BA HONS Degree in Children, Schools and Families and have completed an MA in Psychology. My qu

alifications don't stop there, though; you can view them on the FAQ tab! I aim to create a life balance that prioritises your well-being and celebrates all aspects of your true self. It's time to start nurturing your body and soul again!


Children:
I have worked in education for nearly 20 years helping primary school children by giving them the tools they need to succeed, not only in education but socially and emotionally. I do this by empowering them to understand themselves better, including how their brain works and how it influences their behaviours and choices. Once children are armed with this knowledge, they can use the tools provided to improve their mental health and well-being and ultimately become happier and more confident. Adults:
I have a wealth of experience in dealing with the aftermath of abuse, domestic violence, coercive control, grief, addiction, depression, life coaching, su***de, mental health and well-being and relationships. It isn't always easy to just walk away, tell someone or move on; we first need to be able to accept what has happened, reflect, decide and then take steps to heal. I can work with you to help bring your mind and body back into equilibrium through various therapeutic techniques. I am not a counsellor, so my approach is not linked to any kind of theorist or intervention. Instead, I listen, I hear you, I discover what motivates you and then together, we explore new goals and ambitions in a realistic and time-sensitive manner. I will help you to understand yourself better and learn to love who you are. Signposting:
If for any reason, I feel that you/they require more specialised support, I will signpost you/them to the relevant services and recommend that you seek their help. My role is not to replace any required specialised service but to compliment them by motivating you/them to be inspired.


You've come this far, you've accepted that you or your child needs some extra support - well done! Now allow me to help guide you/them through to a more fulfilling stage of life, after all, we only get one chance at it so let's get it right! All I ask, is that you trust the process.

When children are struggling, their behaviour is often telling us something that their words cannot.

Through therapeutic support and psychoeducation, I help children and young people understand their emotions, build confidence, manage stress and develop practical skills for life's challenges.

Every child deserves the opportunity to feel understood, supported and empowered to thrive.

Are your staff carrying the emotional weight of supporting vulnerable children and young people?

Psychological reflective practice provides a dedicated space for teams to think, process, learn, and grow.

I offer reflective practice sessions for:
✅️ Schools.
✅️ Children's homes.
✅️ Residential care teams.
✅️ Alternative provision.
✅️ Youth and family services.

Drawing on psychological principles, attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, and formulation, sessions help teams understand behaviour, manage challenges, and strengthen resilience.

When staff feel supported, children benefit too.

If you'd like to explore reflective practice for your team, I'd be happy to discuss your needs.

I really dislike the narrative we’ve developed about being ‘broken’ and needing to be ‘fixed’ by a psychologist.

No matter what you’re going through right now or have been through in the past, you’re not broken. 💜

And what’s not broken doesn’t need to be fixed.

Your past experiences and trauma make you the person you are today, but it’s not my job to erase them.

My job is to help you explore how these events are shaping your experiences of the present without causing you further trauma and pain.

So just remember, there is nothing wrong with you - only things that have happened to you. 🤗

VERY proud and honoured to be one of the judges for the SheInspires- Celebrating Women Recognition to Impact Awards, in particular, the Lifetime Achievement Category 🥹

I won the SHEro Award back in 2019 and literally cried my eyelashes off with pride! 😭

Each and every person nominated for every category deserves the recognition for their hard work and dedication. Wishing everyone good luck! 👏🍀

You don’t have to carry it all on your own 💚

If life feels heavy, confusing, or just a bit too much right now, I offer a warm, calm space where you can talk, be heard, and start to make sense of things, at your pace.

Gentle, confidential support, shaped around you 🤗

This is the space where I hold my therapy sessions 😍

It’s actually a converted garage, but inside it feels much more like a cosy living room than a clinical office.

I’ve created it to be calm, comfortable, and sensory-friendly, with soft lighting and a relaxed atmosphere that many neurodivergent, and younger clients, especially appreciate.

There’s no signage outside and nothing that makes it stand out, which helps keep the space private and low-pressure when arriving.

My intention was to create somewhere that feels safe, welcoming, and a little bit like stepping into a quiet pause from the outside world.

This short video gives you a glimpse of what the space looks like 🥹

So if this is a space you would feel comfortable in, get in touch for a free, no obligation, consultation 🤗

Sometimes life feels overwhelming, and having the right support can make all the difference. 💛

At My Psychological Wellness, I provide a warm, friendly, and supportive space where people of all ages can feel safe, heard, and understood.

I work therapeutically with adults, children, young people, and families, offering compassionate support for anxiety, stress, trauma, emotional wellbeing, relationships, confidence, and life challenges.

Alongside private therapy, I also work closely with children’s homes, schools, workplaces, and safeguarding teams, supporting individuals, staff, and organisations with emotional wellbeing, trauma-informed practice, and mental health support.

My approach is down-to-earth, non-judgmental, and tailored to each person’s needs. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or intimidating; sometimes it simply starts with a conversation in a safe and welcoming space.

🌿 Warm, compassionate & approachable
🌿 Supporting children, adults, families & professionals
🌿 Experience across schools, children’s services & workplaces
🌿 Helping people feel understood, supported & empowered

If you’re looking for support for yourself, your family, your team, or your organisation, I’d love to hear from you.

I will just leave this here...

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Are you holding everything together on the outside… but struggling on the inside?

Many people quietly experience:

🌿 Anxiety or constant worrying
🌿 Feeling overwhelmed or burned out
🌿 Low mood or depression
🌿 Overthinking or difficulty switching off
🌿 Stress at work or home
🌿 Relationship difficulties
🌿 Feeling stuck or not like yourself

You might also be worried about your child or teenager, who could be experiencing:

🌿 Anxiety or worries about school
🌿 Low confidence or self-esteem
🌿 Big emotions, anger or meltdowns
🌿 Behavioural challenges at home or school
🌿 Friendship difficulties or feeling left out
🌿 Bullying or social struggles
🌿 Exam pressure or school stress
🌿 Difficulty managing emotions

Therapy provides a safe, supportive and confidential space to talk, understand what’s happening, and find practical ways forward.

I’m a psychologist working with adults, children and young people, supporting people through life’s challenges and helping them feel more like themselves again.

If you’ve been thinking about getting support, you don’t have to face things alone.
