How Paula’s approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice repeated roles, closeness issues, and communication habits that come from family history. This approach can be useful for family-of-origin concerns and relationship difficulties.Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients set goals they want to work toward. This method supports self-directed change and helps clarify what matters in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paula will discuss options and test what fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
