About Paul

Paul Campbell is a counsellor with 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction and the effects of trauma and abuse. He works from a respectful, person-centred stance that starts by listening to each person’s story. Paul helps people identify their strengths and find practical ways to manage painful feelings and patterns.

He uses a mix of approaches to match the issue in front of him. That can mean working with attachment patterns to understand relationship problems.

Background and approach

It can mean using cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making a change, such as with drug or alcohol use. Paul also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at early life experiences that shape current behaviour.

Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and understand. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change. People come to him for a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, family problems, fatherhood issues, infidelity, guilt and shame, and compulsive or impulsive behaviour.

He supports work on abandonment, codependency, control issues, dissociation and forgiveness. Paul is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practices in the United Kingdom. Sessions are held in English and offered online by video, phone, chat or text.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Paul often combines attachment-based work with cognitive behavioural methods to tackle relationship patterns and everyday distress. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people understand repeated patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and compulsive behaviours.

He also uses motivational interviewing to support people who are unsure about change, particularly around drug and alcohol use. That approach is collaborative and helps someone clarify their reasons for change and build small, achievable steps. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together; the therapist and client review progress and adjust methods to fit needs and goals.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and body language, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit quieter check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions, or when being on camera is difficult. These formats help people access regular support without travel and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
