Paola St George

my main working days are all day on monday and Tuesday mornings.  I do see online clients as well, usually on a wednesday.  

I currently have availability.  

I’m Paola. With over 25 years in the mental health sector, I’ve dedicated my career to a simple truth: you are not a diagnosis to be ‘fixed.’ We live in a world that loves to put us in boxes (for you and for me)  —calling us ‘anxious,’ ‘depressed,’ or ‘broken.’ In my practice, those labels take a backseat so that you can sit down.  The irony of being found by you in this directory by some sort of label is not lost on me.  

Reaching out can be intimidating, especially if you feel you don't have the 'right' words. Whether you are navigating a specific trauma, burnt out from masking, or just feel like you’re wading through mud, you are welcome here. I offer a neuro-inclusive, intersectional, and judgment-free space that honors how your brain is wired and how you move through the world. 

My style is 'relational'—which is just a fancy way of saying that the trust and safety we build together is the most important tool we have. As a half-Italian and a lifelong Brightonian, I bring passion, expressiveness, and a down-to-earth local grounding to our sessions. I’m not a 'blank slate' therapist; I am a real person, and I believe that mental health is deeply tied to how we are treated by the society we live in.

We will figure it out together, at your pace, not mine. No boxes, no labels—just a relationship built to help you find your way forward.
