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 my wide range of 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'.

Having been trained as both a psychotherapist and a Yoga psychology teacher, I view life’s experiences as integral to our soul’s journey toward wholeness. By learning from our past and transcending suffering, we cultivate greater awareness, awaken our inner light, uncover our purpose, and recognize our innate qualities & gifts.
My approach integrates the scientific foundations of Western psychology—including psychodynamic & transpersonal perspectives—with the wisdom of Eastern and Indigenous traditions, such as Yoga philosophy & mindfulness. If this perspective resonates with you, I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

Perhaps you are overwhelmed with depression or anxiety, feel helpless or hopeless and you want to get yourself back again - enjoy life? Perhaps you find life is unfulfilling, you feel stuck in the same rut and struggle to change your life to be more what you would like it to be? Or are you experiencing conflict, relationship issues, self-esteem issues or stress and need help and support at this time? Together we can find a way forward. I am the author of the "Out of the Fog" programme delivered in group and individual therapy which has helped hundreds of people to recover/become well from depression/anxiety.
