I offer kind, professional psychotherapy based upon our relationship and respecting your unique value. People seek therapy for many significant reasons, and I see the courage it takes to face issues that are causing suffering or asking you to adapt, heal and evolve. I offer a warm, confidential and compassionate space so that as far as possible you feel secure, encouraged and ready to work through your challenges. I’m led by what you feel open to working with as you are the expert on your own experience. Therapy is short or long term. Sessions are held in purpose built rooms within easy reach of Canterbury, with good accessibility.
As an Integrative therapist I use a range of techniques from different theoretical approaches, depending on which technique is most appropriate. I offer 1:1 therapy helping adults facing a wide range of issues, including neurodiversity, trauma, relationship issues, loss, depression, anxiety, ill health, stress, gender, self, identity and seeking meaning.
Good therapy involves mutual trust and often difficult, at times joyful exploration. Finding the right therapist is important and can be a delicate process, so I would like to encourage you to read at least three profiles, Please feel free to call me for a brief chat, before booking an initial session. Thanks for viewing my profile. Kindest, Paul.

There are many issues that I can help you with, from surviving and moving through depression, to learning how trauma and anxiety function in your body; exploring family relationships to better understand or helping you to sit in the present, building resilience, allowing emotion. Helping you form a strong embodied relationship with your self, through a safe encounter where you set the agenda.

My therapy model is integrative (primarily existentialist,& transpersonal). In practice, our initial session will explore what brings you to therapy, then we would work collaboratively to understand, embody and engage with the thoughts, feelings and observations that follow. I may at times use techniques from other therapies e.g. Transactional Analysis, Polyvagal Therapy or offer psycho-education
