Person-centered and Psychodynamic Approaches in Online Therapy
Paula integrates person-centered work and psychodynamic ideas to support clients in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own experience and choices - the therapist listens empathically and follows the client’s lead to help them explore feelings, build self-understanding and strengthen coping skills. This approach is helpful for anxiety, stress and relationship concerns.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that develop over time, including how past experiences influence current reactions and relationships. In short, it helps uncover recurring themes and unconscious connections so clients can make more conscious choices and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Paula will work together with each person to identify which method or combination of methods fits their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the way she works as therapy progresses.
Online sessions using video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for clients with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living in different locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and allow registered professionals like Paula to provide consistent, ongoing support across distances.
