Awarded Trauma-Informed Therapist of the Year 2026 (GHP Mental Health Awards), Paula Williams is a psychotherapist and trauma specialist with over 25 years of clinical experience across addiction services, rehabilitation settings, private practice and organisational work.

Paula delivers talks and workshops on trauma, nervous system regulation, generational patterns, addiction, identity and the psychological dynamics shaping modern work and relationships. Her sessions combine clinical depth with practical application, helping audiences understand not just what needs to change, but why patterns form in the first place.

She has worked with London-based private members’ clubs, founders’ networks, corporate teams, universities and recovery communities, guiding conversations that move beyond awareness into integration.

Paula does not offer performative wellbeing. She works in the same way she practices therapy, asking the questions others avoid, holding a steady mirror to patterns that are often misunderstood, and helping individuals recognise that much of what they are seeking externally already exists internally.

Her work strengthens awareness, responsibility and emotional clarity.

Each session is carefully tailored to the room, ensuring relevance, depth and practical application.
