You may be navigating grief, relationship stress, relocation, or major life transitions where things feel heavier than you can carry alone.
My speciality lies in supporting people through anxiety, low mood, burnout, relationship challenges, identity struggles, and migration or relocation experiences. With lived experience of international transition and multicultural spaces, I understand the emotional complexity of starting over, balancing identities, and finding belonging.

I work with those facing stress and life issues, with organisations & leaders (see Leaders.DrPaul.Online) and supervise professionals (see Supervision.DrPaul.Online). More than just counselling, as a Registered Clinical Psychologist, I offer structured assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based solutions. Clients' feedback: 'Paul was able to articulate what was going on for me'. I highly recommend him. His approach was 'methodical, thoughtful, interesting and implementable, and made me feel comfortable and listened to'. 'Seeing Paul, I am now more confident, relaxed and a better person as a result' (see Feedback.DrPaul.Online).

As a therapist and Executive Coach I have a special interest in supporting clients to manage ADHD, Menopause, Relationships, Separation, Grief and our relationship with eating.
I am a Solution Focused trained counsellor which means we will look at how your life is now, what changes you would like to make, what is holding you back from that and learning your strengths to help you to move forward. We live in busy and emotionally demanding times and my hope is to provide you with some space to focus on your needs away from the pressure of life and work. I welcome working with clients from all walks of life. We will work together to figure out how you would like your life to be, identify the roadblocks and look at ways for you to make positive changes in your life.

I work with adults who struggle with relationships, alcohol, anxiety, and depression. My clients have often been abused sexually, survived domestic abuse and/or neglect in their childhood. This means clients might find it hard to be in close relationships, have a sense of 'being hollow inside', constantly worry about 'getting it wrong', find it hard to say no, be constantly busy, feel angry or frustrated at others, feel 'flat and rudderless' in life, and/or self-soothe (eg alcohol) to make life easier. I am interested in helping people process their psychobiography to feel more at peace. I also work with ACC Sensitive Claims.
