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 give my clients practical tools to manage stress, address life's challenges, resolve career and relationship issues, worry and sadness. For ADHD, I use tools in my 30-Day Attention Bootcamp. '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, they can be applied to my situation'.
I help clients deal with what they are immediately facing, figure out why things in their lives have unfolded as they have, use my tailored and practical tools with them, and then help them develop meaning from the way they are accepting and dealing with their challenges. I assist them to use these challenges to put their lives on a better future track.
