About Paul
Paul Hunt describes himself as a steady, approachable counsellor who helps people make sense of difficult feelings. He speaks plainly and listens closely to what is happening in each persons life. Paul aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and compassionate for anyone who is unsure where to begin.
Paul works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and stress. He also supports people handling relationship worries, parenting strain, neurodiversity and common challenges like sleep and eating difficulties.
Background and approach
He treats each person as an individual rather than a label, and focuses on what the person wants to change. Paul combines practical conversation with reflective work. He uses elements of existential thinking to look at meaning and values, client-centred listening to follow what matters to the individual, and cognitive behavioural ideas to try small, testable changes.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of his approach when they fit the persons goals. Paul is a BACP member. He has three years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom.
He offers sessions in English by video call, phone, live chat or messaging so people can choose a way to connect that suits them. Starting is simple: select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule a time that fits.
Paul aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and begin to untangle what has been weighing them down.

Online support
Approach and practical online therapy options
Paul often uses existential ideas to help people reflect on meaning, choice and values when life feels uncertain. This approach helps with questions about purpose, identity and coping with major life changes. He also works in a client-centred way, offering attentive listening and following what matters most to the person, which can help people feel heard and understood.Paul brings cognitive behavioural techniques into sessions when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes. CBT-style work can suit people wanting practical steps for anxiety, mood or sleep problems. Deciding which approach to use is part of the collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options and tailor the work to the clients goals and preferences rather than applying a single method.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is lower, live chat suits short check-ins or those who prefer typing, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility so people can fit therapy into work, family life or other commitments and choose the format that helps them engage best.
