About Marie-Paule
Marie-Paule Ahanda is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps those facing depression and LGBT concerns.
She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Marie-Paule shapes conversations and plans around each person's needs. She works to make sessions feel practical and grounded, focusing on what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and straightforward, with an emphasis on listening first and then planning next steps. People come to her for a mix of everyday and deeper struggles. These include panic attacks, trouble connecting with others, feelings of isolation, and difficulties in the workplace.
She also supports people navigating attachment or abandonment worries, commitment doubts, and issues linked to prejudice or multicultural experiences. She offers help with communication problems, sexuality questions, social anxiety and young adult challenges. Women’s issues are among the areas she addresses.
Marie-Paule will adapt her approach as needs change during therapy. Sessions are available mainly online, and she can also arrange face-to-face meetings. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.
The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Marie-Paule works online
Another useful method is emotion-focused discussion where feelings are named and explored to reduce overwhelm. This tends to help with anger, attachment worries and issues linked to abandonment or loss. Both approaches aim to give clearer tools for day-to-day coping rather than only talking about problems.
Choosing the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and will adapt methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you prefer face-to-face contact, note the biography says she can arrange in-person meetings; otherwise confirm what session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to build progress into everyday life.
