About Paul

Paul Kemp is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as BACP. Paul offers a calm, down-to-earth presence for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and career worries.

He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward. Paul creates a space where people can speak openly about difficult feelings. He focuses on helping clients build confidence and cope with life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions are structured around what matters to the individual rather than a fixed agenda. His approach draws on existential ideas that look at meaning and responsibility in life. He also uses client-centred methods to make sure the person’s experience guides the work.

Mindfulness practices and narrative techniques are used to help people notice patterns and develop alternative ways of responding. Paul is clear about limits to his practice. He currently does not provide support for addiction-related issues, compulsive sexual behaviours, or other psychosexual problems.

This helps ensure people are directed to the most appropriate help when needed. People who choose Paul tend to want a practical, conversational style. He blends reflection with simple tools so clients can try things between sessions.

The emphasis is on steady progress and on finding what fits each person’s life and values.

Online support

How Paul’s approaches work online

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and the pressures people face. It helps when someone is questioning life direction, dealing with loss, or feeling stuck. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on warmth, listening and acceptance. This approach is useful for building self-worth and confidence. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques to manage anxiety and stress in everyday moments. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be an alternative when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or those who find typing easier. These options provide flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent alongside work and family commitments.
