My name is Paul and I am a Level 6 Psychotraumatologist & Psychotherapist and Member of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists. More importantly, I am a survivor! I was diagnosed with C-PTSD (Complex PTSD) due to adverse childhood experiences and PTSD from my career in the military. Having undergone trauma therapy myself and experienced first-hand the immense benefits that it can bring, I decided to study to become a qualified therapist and Retreat to Advance was born. Why the name 'Retreat to Advance'? Often, we need to go back over past traumas, issues and difficulties in order then to go forward and thrive.
I offer therapy and counselling services for Trauma, PTSD & CPTSD (Military and Civilian), Adverse Childhood Experiences, Depression, Stress, Anxiety, Addiction/Substance abuse and self-harm. I also offer couples and relationship therapy. I specialise in Trauma-Focused CBT and CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy).
I know from personal experience, that mental health issues can be devastating for both sufferers and those that love and care for them, as well as having significant impact on work and social life. You can learn to thrive again and find your authentic self. I would love to help you on your journey to thriving!

The approach to trauma therapy that I use is a tri-phasic treatment model approved by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, the UK Psychological Trauma Society and NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence). This phased-based approach has been adopted for trauma focused psychotraumatology therapy.

When dealing with trauma, talking therapy is not enough. Trauma focused therapy enables traumas to be processed (including Cognitive Processing Therapy - CPT) so that the memories can be filed properly and the impact of trauma emotionally regulated.
