How Paula’s approaches translate to online counselling

Paula commonly uses client-centred work and mindfulness together to help people manage stress and strong emotions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person, helping them find their own direction. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce rumination and calm the mind in daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided collaboratively. Paula will work with each person to match the methods to their goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting as the work progresses. The original biography does not list explicit session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, cut out travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion more easily. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and tools to suit video or audio sessions, helping clients use practical skills in everyday routines.
