I am both a clinical psychologist and organisation strategist. Working with individuals and organisations, including the cross-over between personal and professional wellbeing/careers. Comments from clients include: 'I was quite astounded with how spot on Paul was, he was able to articulate what was going on for me'. 'I highly recommend him'. Paul worked in a 'methodical, thoughtful, interesting and implementable way, and made me feel comfortable and listened to'. 'Seeing Paul, there has been a noticeable difference in both my home and work life; I am now more confident, relaxed and a better person as a result'.
I provide practical tools to deal with this chaotic age—our hyper-busy lives, societal stress, info overload, Al's impact: 'I come out from a session with hands-on tools to take away that I have already been helped to practice, and I can clearly see how they can be applied to my situation'. First, I help my clients deal with what they are facing immediately.
Second, I assist them to understand why things have worked out in their lives the way that they have. Third, I teach them tailored and practical clinical psychology tools I've developed to help them change. Fourth, I work with them to develop meaning out of the way they are accepting and dealing with the challenges that life throws at them.
