About Paul

Paul Hunt is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel worn out, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. He meets clients with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship difficulties. He aims to make the first step feel smaller and to listen without judgement.

He works with issues linked to ADHD and neurodiversity as well as trauma, addictions and parenting pressures. Paul also offers support around intimacy, body image, career concerns and the practical strains of caring for others.

Background and approach

He treats each person as an individual rather than a label. Paul uses a mix of approaches that suit the person in front of him. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational.

He pays attention to how feelings and patterns show up in daily life and helps people try small changes that can make a difference. Paul is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. He has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom.

His style is warm and down to earth and he aims to create a calm space where people can talk openly about what is difficult. Therapy with Paul may involve making sense of past experiences, looking at thinking and behaviour patterns, and practising simple mindfulness or motivational techniques. He encourages realistic steps and practical coping strategies alongside reflective conversation.

If someone is curious or unsure, he helps them explore what might work next.

Ways of working Paul names

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

How Paul’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps when someone needs a space to talk through feelings and make sense of their own experiences. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It is useful for setting short-term goals and trying out small changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they fit the person rather than forcing a single technique.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the conversation feel close to an in-person meeting. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, day-to-day support or people who find typing easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and to continue work when travel is difficult.
