About Paul
Paul Phillips is a counsellor who aims to help people facing anxiety, depression, anger and other difficult emotions. He presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and focuses on practical ways to make day-to-day life easier. Paul uses a conversational style so people can talk about what matters to them and set clear goals for change.
Paul draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. He uses Client-Centred methods to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and Psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past.

He also uses Solution-Focused techniques to identify small steps that can make a real difference. With six years of experience and the NCPS credential, Paul offers support for a wide range of concerns. These include stress, grief, addictions, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strains, and coping with big life changes.
He also works with issues such as anger, guilt and loneliness. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Paul encourages a collaborative relationship so people can shape the pace and focus of therapy together.

Online support
How Paul’s approaches translate to online therapy
Paul uses Existential Therapy to help people make sense of difficult life questions and find meaning when feeling stuck or empty. This approach can suit those facing major life changes, grief or a sense of purposelessness.He also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises listening and understanding so people feel heard and can explore their thoughts at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test practical changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul discusses options with each person and chooses methods together based on goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for a more traditional session feel, phone works well if bandwidth is limited, and messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing pacing between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
