About Paul

Paul Kemp is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, career worries and depression. Paul also supports those facing compassion fatigue, coping with life changes, and people seeking coaching to build confidence and self‑esteem.

He explains boundaries around his practice and does not offer help for addiction or compulsive sexual behaviours. That clarity helps people know what to expect before they begin.

Background and approach

Paul aims to make the first step into talking to someone feel manageable and direct. In sessions he creates a calm, open space where clients can speak about what matters to them. He listens without judging and encourages people to notice their own strengths.

Conversations are shaped around the person sitting in front of him, not a fixed checklist. Paul draws on several practical ways of working to help people understand their thoughts and feelings. He uses client‑centred listening to follow the client’s lead, mindfulness to build grounding skills, and narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult stories.

These approaches are used to support coping and clearer decision making. He welcomes straightforward conversations about goals and what someone hopes to change. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the client’s needs.

Practical steps, pauses for reflection, and short exercises between meetings are common parts of his work.

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 suit online therapy

Paul uses client centred therapy to follow what matters most to each person. This approach means the therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around the client’s concerns, which can help with anxiety, stress and problems at work or home.

He also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple grounding and attention skills. These are practical tools that people can practise between sessions to reduce overwhelm and notice stress signals earlier.

Narrative therapy appears in his work too, helping people tell their story differently so they can spot patterns and choose new ways forward. That approach can be useful for grief, low mood and finding meaning after big life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Paul will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative planning helps the client steer how sessions unfold and what to try between meetings.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera time is limited, and live chat or text based messaging can suit brief check ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still keeping a steady therapeutic rhythm.
