Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Support
Marie-Paule uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill-building with exploration of personal and relational patterns. One common focus is skills-based work that teaches coping strategies for managing stress, anxiety and panic symptoms - these approaches help people develop tools they can use between sessions. Another area of emphasis is examining attachment and relationship dynamics to address issues like abandonment, commitment concerns and communication problems - this work helps people understand and change recurring patterns that affect connections with others. She also tailors interventions to support mood, self-esteem and motivation when depression or low confidence are present.
Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. Marie-Paule works together with clients to identify goals, preferences and practical needs, and she adapts techniques over time to find the best fit for each person.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a BACP-registered professional, maintain continuity during busy periods, and choose the mode of communication that feels most helpful.
