Paul is just so down to earth and gentle in the way he helps me, to the point he’s literally like a mirror to see things for myself in my own time and the best part is he does it naturally, could literally not have a better therapist, he’s one of a kind in the way he conducts himself

Paul is an attentive person who listens well and draws out a different frame of mind when needed. He is always on time and puts you at ease from the start of a conversation and always leaves you feeling better than when you entered the room.
