Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Paula uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the client at the heart of the process, creating a supportive environment in which people can explore their feelings and gain self-awareness. This approach is often helpful for building self-esteem, managing relationship concerns and navigating major life transitions.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses. CBT can be effective for anxiety, stress, sleeping difficulties and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Paula collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging - make it easier to access regular support without the need to travel. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and allow therapy to fit into busy lives, helping clients maintain continuity of care from wherever they are.
