Hi, my name is Paul. I am an accredited and qualified counsellor. I will work with you to overcome your challenges in life that may have caused things such as anxiety, anger and depression. I work in a supportive and effective way by providing a safe, non-judgemental environment where you will feel comfortable and at ease to speak openly and we can work constructively and collaboratively, to help you reach your goals by understanding your life experience.
I use several therapeutic models to support clients, depending on their needs, including, Person Centred Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic approaches and Solution focused Therapy to help clients in multiple ways to support them with things such as anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, social anxiety, anger, addiction and bereavement.
I have been working in this field for many years, and have been able to successfully help people move forward with their lives. I have deep understanding of what it's like dealing with difficult emotions and situations, and this has given me a unique approach and understanding to help you move forward too.
Contacting a counsellor can feel daunting, but could also be life-changing. I offer sessions that work best for you, and I am qualified to provide virtual counselling sessions, whatever suits you.
Thank you for reading my profile, I hope it helps you with the sometimes difficult task of choosing a counsellor. If you have any questions around how I work or how I can help you please do let me know.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very patient person. Attentive to needs, great advice
I've just had a couple of sessions with Paul, but in those sessions he was 100% listening, paying attention, and caring about my struggles. He also checked on me during these weeks, and read my journal entries/messages carefully. It seemed that he even took notes of them. I highly appreciate this because it shows me that he actually cares about me, and wants me to get better. Thank you so much, Paul.
