Online support options
Approaches you can try online with Paula
Paula uses client-centred work that focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. This approach involves open listening and reflecting back what matters to the individual, helping them make decisions that feel right for them.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which pays attention to strong emotions in the moment. This method helps people understand their feelings, improve emotional contact and shift patterns that cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Paula works collaboratively to decide whether more practical, solution-focused steps or deeper emotional work suits a person's needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the way she works as goals change.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for visual connection and fuller conversation. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Messaging and live chat suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between appointments.
