About Marie-Paule
Marie-Paule Ahanda is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She supports people struggling with stress, anxiety and low mood, and works with those facing LGBT-related concerns, anger and self-esteem difficulties. Marie-Paule adapts conversations and plans to a person’s needs and offers compassion and respect throughout the process.
She focuses on clear, practical work rather than jargon. Sessions are shaped around what the person wants to achieve, whether that is reducing panic, managing workplace strain, or building confidence. She also helps with relationship-related themes such as attachment and commitment worries, and with issues like isolation and communication problems.
Her background includes work with panic disorder and post-traumatic stress, alongside a multicultural awareness that recognises prejudice and discrimination as part of some people’s experience. Marie-Paule draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address sexuality, social anxiety and women’s issues when these are relevant.
Sessions are mainly offered online, and she can arrange face-to-face meetings when appropriate. Languages available are English and French. Practical details such as cost follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Marie-Paule aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through their concerns and work toward clearer next steps.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online work
The therapist uses evidence-based techniques to guide conversations and practical tasks. One common approach focuses on building skills to manage anxiety and panic by recognising triggers and practising coping steps that can be used in everyday situations. Another approach targets low mood and self-esteem through structured conversations and small goal-setting to increase activity and confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie-Paule will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods match their goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape what happens in sessions and what tasks might be practised between meetings.
She mainly offers sessions online and can also organise face-to-face meetings; confirm exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins during breaks. It also lets people join from different locations while keeping the focus on practical strategies for workplace stress, relationships and everyday wellbeing.
