Therapeutic approaches and online care with Paula Cleary
Paula works from an approach that centres the person and their lived experience, beginning with client-centered therapy which focuses on understanding each individual without judgement and helping them find their own solutions - useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and general life stressors. Existential therapy complements this by exploring meaning, values, and choices when life feels uncertain or empty, helping people facing major life changes, grief, or questions about purpose. Mindfulness therapy adds practical skills to notice thoughts and bodily sensations with greater calm, which can reduce the intensity of anxiety and mood-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Paula collaborates with each person to tailor methods that suit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try different strategies and adapt as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with Paula is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographical constraints. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver effective care through these formats, making it easier to maintain continuity of support and access help from wherever is most convenient.
