About

My name is Paula Byram. I am 37 years old and I am married to David with two beautiful children, Lucinda who is now 14 and Oscar who was born in June 2007.

So, why did I become a therapist and doula? Well, there are many reasons why I wanted to do this. I became a therapist because for most of my life I suffered with phobias and as I got older they got worse. Doctors told me that there was nothing that could be done about them. It was only when I went to see a hypnotherapist who did EFT and TAT that my problems went, never to return. I felt compelled to follow this path for myself. So, I trained in this field because I wanted to be in a position where I can help other people. I also feel that I am able to empathise with clients and it is an incredibly rewarding profession.

My new chosen career started by getting my Practitioners certificate in both EFT and TAT from EFT Master Tania Prince based in Manchester. I then went on to study as a doola under Adela Stockton based in Glasgow a couple of years later.

Being a doula seems to fit very well with being a therapist. Having had two children myself, I want to pass on my life experience and the knowledge and learning that I have as a therapist to enable mothers to have a positive birth experience.
