I am a licensed therapist in the UK associated with the BACP 00930305 with four years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients cope with a wide range of challenges & issues. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming your challenge.
I have a decade's worth of experience working within mental health services, from autism/additional needs, addictions, and youth work to social care, most recently, within the NHS, based within a community mental health service, and running my private practice here in the UK.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, psychodynamic and person-centred therapy. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to bring the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you if you are ready to take that step.
I look forward to working with you,
Paul

Paul has spoken to me both over text and love video chatting. He’s great at listening and understanding all perspectives. On top of that, he gives you the best advice possible - if you get Paul you’re insanely lucky !

I have been seeing Paul for a bit now and I gotta say, that after talking to him I usually feel a lot better, he helps me manage my anxiety very well and in general it is just lovely to talk to him! Would rate him higher if I could :)

Paul is easy to talk to and makes me feel very comfortable in an uncomfortable environment of sharing things you don’t find easy. Cant be better than that really
