About Paul

Beginning therapy can feel like a significant and personal step, and Paul Hunt recognises how daunting that first move can be. He offers a calm, nonjudgmental approach for people who know something isn’t right or who are tired of carrying difficult feelings alone. Whatever has brought someone to seek support, Paul treats it as important and approaches each person with attention and care.

Paul works with people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, relationship difficulties, childhood trauma, parental alienation, and the challenges of living with ADHD and neurodiversity. More than focusing on labels or diagnoses, he attends to each client as an individual - someone trying to cope with experiences that are often unseen or misunderstood.

He is a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. His practice blends different therapeutic ideas to meet each person where they are and to support practical, compassionate work.

Paul’s style is warm, down-to-earth, and fundamentally human. He does not aim to fix or judge; instead he walks alongside people as they explore their stories and make sense of difficult feelings. Many clients report feeling at ease with him, even in online sessions, noting his presence, close listening, and genuine care. He offers a space to name what has been hidden, to untangle what has been held inside, and to begin finding greater clarity and steadiness. If someone is ready or simply curious, Paul would be honoured to accompany them on that journey.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Paul blends client-centred work with evidence-informed techniques to support emotional wellbeing and practical change. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s experiences are heard and validated - it helps people who need acceptance, self-understanding, and stronger emotional clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and learning practical strategies to shift them - it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings - it can support coping with overwhelming emotions, burnout, and ongoing stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Paul works collaboratively to find what fits best. He discusses options with each client, considers their goals and preferences, and adapts methods so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Paul is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or wherever is most convenient, while still receiving focused, goal-oriented support from a therapist who prioritises presence and practical progress.
