Integrative Counselling in Anlaby

I aim to provide a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space for clients to express and explore any difficulties they might be experiencing. I believe the therapeutic rapport between the therapist and client to be a vehicle for transformation and change. I am very client lead in my work and strive to collaboratively work with clients to tailor my approach to best suit what they require from me. Not one size fits all and no one approach is suited for all clients. I believe this outlook encourages clients fostering their individuality and uniqueness. I hope to help clients to feel empowered, confident, and reconnected with themselves.

Hello, I'm Paul and I understand how embarking on therapy can be really challenging which is something I understand from my own therapy journey. I a qualified integrative therapist & offer a free 20 minute consultation as I believe it's really important working with the right therapist. Feeling stuck? Unfulfilled? Lonely? Overly Self Critical? Low Self Esteem? In Destructive Relational Patterns? Or want to make positive changes in your life? Whilst reaching out for support can be a real challenge, it takes real strength & courage to share vulnerable aspects of our self, and in turn that's where we can grow & develop as individuals.

Life can leave us feeling "wounded". At times life can feel confusing, difficult, painful, miserable, and so much more. In those moments we need to talk because holding it all in can be even more agonising. It may be that you are unsure of what it is you would like to explore, or you are aware that something does not feel right, or you don't know who you are anymore. Talking about the things that are affecting your life can transform YOU, because talking aims to help you deal with and overcome things that are causing you emotional pain or making you feel uncomfortable. Talking can offer you a safe space to explore yourself.

Therapy can helpful for many challenges in life: feeling low in mood, anxious, lacking in confidence, 'burnt out', struggling with relationships, loss of all kinds. Or simply wondering what your life is all about and wanting to explore. I believe that with understanding, support and sensitive challenge people are able to make changes in their lives and relationships. My approach would be tailored to your needs as an individual, placing trust in the healing power of a caring therapeutic relationship. I am an experienced Psychotherapist integrating specific modalities to create a nurturing space for exploration and change.

I am a HCPC Registered Clinical Psychologist currently working in the NHS and private sector. I have a range of experience in offering expert psychological assessment and therapy to adults and children with mental health difficulties.

We all feel challenged and overwhelmed at times. Whatever the greatest challenge is in your life right now, I aim to give you simple, straightforward strategies that could help you to live a happier life starting straight away. The thought of talking to a stranger might be daunting for some people, and that's perfectly normal. I can promise you a safe, non-judgemental and totally confidential environment where your thoughts and concerns are the most important thing and where you can talk openly about whatever is bothering you. You will be treated with the upmost respect - your happiness and wellbeing is important to me.

Acknowledging that you are struggling to cope with the daily life is hard and the first step to taking control of your life. Often people don’t feel that their problems are worth contacting a therapist about, as "others have it worse" and try to push the uncomfortable feelings away and carry on. Therapy isn't about blaming yourself or passing responsibility it's about working together with another individual to validate your experiences and understand your patterns of behaviour. We will then work together to help you make positive changes for a more fulfilled life. I am a therapist and supervisor and work with teens and adults.

I offer therapy to individuals aged 18 years and above. I am a person-centred counsellor which means you lead the way and the therapy can be adapted to your situation and individual needs. Techniques will be offered, as you work through your issues, to help you feel better able to cope, manage stress, emotions, feelings and respond differently to which may have left you unsettled. I will listen to you and accept you as you are, which means you will not be judged, instead, you will be responded to in a respectful and empathic way.

I am a highly experienced and specialist Clinical Psychologist with 22 years of NHS experience, working predominantly with adults and adolescents suffering a variety of mental health difficulties. I offer individual, couples and some family therapies employing a range of person-centred and evidence based therapies. I have a particular interest in working with childhood and complex trauma, PTSD, dissociative disorders, personality disorder, mood disorders, eating disorders and attachment/relationship difficulties. I practice MBT, DBT, trauma processing therapies, CAT and CFT to tailor individualised intervention packages of care.

I work with people who are facing difficult life issues, some feel depressed and/or anxious, and unsure how to get out of the life position they find themselves in. Others experience problems managing difficult emotions caused by grief or loss and find themselves in a maze of emotions that feel impossible to navigate. Some experience relational problems; families, partners, work colleagues and other relationships can sometimes be at the centre of hard to mange emotions. I tailor therapy to your needs, we can set goals, explore how we and others function in relationships, or use techniques; I leave these choices to you.

Often, I hear the phrase “others have it far worse than me…” and where there may be a truth in that phrase, I believe YOU are just as important. This is the ethos of my practice. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to talk, be heard, your personal experience validated and for positive change to occur. I have also experienced personal therapy so understand how daunting the first step can be; at first I found it scary, challenging but always supportive and it gave me a greater self-belief and deeper understanding of myself that I continue using today.
