The important thing about Paul is he listens and I cannot stress how important that is. He has a very calm, reassuring and non judgmental approach that allows you safely open up and discuss how you’re feeling and what’s going on inside your mind. He’s really on your side and this is the sign of a truly excellent therapist.

- BACP
I am counsellor based in the UK with 9 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.
I work with both mind and body to uncover these strengths, through compassionate inquiry and a somatic approach to help unlock emotional blocks that are trapped or locked in the body.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

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.

Early days but I am enjoying my sessions with Paul. He is easy to talk to and listens to what you have to say.
Paul is my first-ever therapist, and I am really enjoying our conversations. He's adapting to my needs and teaching me how to deal with whatever issues arise. His ability to remember essentially every detail I tell him is uncanny but very much appreciated. I am enjoying the journey and would recommend Paul for sure.
Paul is great at assessing the needs of his clients and holds space for genuine and sincere interaction.
