He describes himself as an integrative counsellor who blends different ways of working to suit each person.

How Paul works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how you make change, then suggest ways of working that fit. Clients can expect a collaborative process where methods are tried and adjusted to suit their needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please check the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also allow sessions when meeting face-to-face is difficult, and it supports steady progress by making regular appointments simpler to keep. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, conversations and goal-setting to work well in an online setting.
