Therapeutic approaches and online support
Paula uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients lead the pace and focus of their work. This approach helps people who want to build self-understanding, improve self-esteem, and explore how their feelings shape relationships. She also applies solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on identifying strengths and practical steps toward achievable goals - a useful method for clients seeking concrete change in areas like stress, career, or relationship patterns. Internal Family Systems is another approach Paula draws on to help clients explore different parts of themselves, understand internal conflicts, and develop greater self-compassion; this can be especially helpful for trauma, grief, or recurring emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Paula works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and effective for the individual.
Online therapy with Paula is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, differing comfort levels, and geographical distance. These options make it easier to access consistent support and continue therapeutic work from wherever the client is located, while allowing registered professionals to tailor sessions to each person’s preferred format.
