Background and approach

That might mean shorter check-ins some weeks and deeper work at other times. Marie-Paule pays attention to how past relationships affect present feelings. She can help when abandonment or attachment worries make relationships hard.

She also works with panic attacks, social anxiety and issues that come from prejudice or discrimination. She has experience helping with workplace stress and the pressures young adults often face. She will discuss practical steps you can try between sessions and explore thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.

Sessions are offered in English and French. People start by choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and booking a time that suits them. The therapist uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Marie-Paule draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding thoughts, behaviours and feelings. One approach helps people spot patterns in thinking that increase anxiety and try small experiments to test new ways of coping. Another approach looks at past relationships and attachment to understand current reactions and build steadier emotional responses.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods and check what helps most. Over time the plan can change to match progress and personal preferences, so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face without travel, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and live chat or text messaging can be better for brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting around daily life.
