Marie-Paule Ahanda, BACP

Marie-Paule works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common way she works is by helping people identify unhelpful thought patterns and testing new responses in everyday situations, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. She also uses methods that address intense emotional reactions and teach calmer ways to respond to anger or panic, useful for people who feel overwhelmed by sudden emotions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Marie-Paule collaborates with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the method if something isn’t helping, so the plan evolves with the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people speak face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions suit those who need less screen time, and live chat or text messaging helps with brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study or family life, and to keep sessions consistent even when schedules change.
