About Marie-Paule

Marie-Paule Ahanda is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and BACP registration. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and depression. Marie-Paule also offers support around sexuality and LGBT concerns in a respectful and sensitive way.

She adapts sessions to each person's needs and builds a plan together with clear, simple steps. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, developing coping strategies, and boosting confidence.

Background and approach

The emphasis is on practical, everyday tools that can be used between meetings. Marie-Paule pays attention to how past experiences affect present feelings, including attachment and abandonment issues. She also helps people who feel isolated, face workplace pressure, or struggle with social anxiety and panic attacks.

Cultural and discrimination concerns are part of her practice too. Sessions are mainly online, though she can arrange face-to-face meetings when appropriate. Conversations can be held in English or in French, depending on what the client prefers.

The therapist aims to create a calm space for honest discussion. Beginning therapy is framed as a step-by-step process. Marie-Paule invites people to share what matters most to them and works at a pace that feels manageable.

The goal is to leave each session with a clearer next step and something practical to try.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Marie-Paule lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches to try during online therapy

Marie-Paule uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people feel better and manage symptoms. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small experiments in daily life to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with panic, social anxiety and negative self-beliefs.

She also works with attachment and relationship themes by looking at how early experiences shape current reactions. That approach supports clearer communication, stronger boundaries and fewer repeated patterns in relationships and commitment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie-Paule will discuss options and choose a way forward together based on your goals, needs and preferences. The plan can change as you try methods and see what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls make face-to-face style conversations possible from different locations. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and a way to reflect between sessions, allowing flexibility around work or family commitments.
