About me

Paula Quinsee

Hello and welcome!

My path to becoming a relationship expert began with my own story of overcoming adversity. Losing my mother at a young age, experiencing failed relationships, and dealing with low self-esteem were significant challenges, but they do not define who I am today: I do.

I left my corporate career in 2014 to follow my passion for making a positive impact in people’s lives. As a passionate advocate for positive and healthy relationships, personal development, and well-being, I empower others with the insights and tools they need to live the life they desire.

My introduction to Imago Relationship Therapy in 2006 was a turning point. It opened my eyes to how our upbringing shapes us and the relationships we build. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to helping individuals and organisations worldwide develop healthier relationships at home and in the workplace.

I’m continually learning and upskilling to make an even greater impact. I hold professional qualifications in Imago Relationship Therapy, NLP, and several other disciplines. Additionally, I’m an international speaker, TEDx speaker, and author of two books: “Embracing Conflict” and “Embracing No.”

Beyond my professional life, I’m an adventure seeker. Whether it’s running marathons, cycling for charity, or climbing mountains, I know what it takes to set goals, stay disciplined, and achieve dreams. Inspiring and motivating others is my passion.

Let me know how I can add value to your life by getting in touch. Contact me here.
