About Paul

Paul Hunt welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or simply tired of carrying things alone. He introduces therapy in a straightforward, calm way so someone worried or unsure can take the first step. Paul makes space for whatever you bring and treats you as a person rather than a diagnosis.

He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

He also supports people dealing with ADHD, neurodiversity, parenting strains, career stress and problems with sleep or eating. Paul pays attention to attachment, abandonment and communication difficulties that often sit beneath presenting problems. Paul uses a blend of approaches that fits each person.

Client-centred work creates a listening space where people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps to spot patterns in thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Trauma-focused and mindfulness approaches are available when people need to look at painful memories or build skills to calm the body and mind.

He trained as an integrative counsellor and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is included in his credentials as provided. He has three years of practice working with adults across many life challenges.

Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging so conversations can fit into busy lives. If you want a calm, down-to-earth listener who helps you make sense of things, Paul offers a steady, non-judgemental presence to walk alongside you.

Ways of working Paul names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches you can use online and why they help

Paul uses client-centred therapy to create a steady listening space where you set the pace and decide what matters most. This approach helps when you need someone who listens deeply and lets you lead the conversation.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT is useful for tackling anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and recurring patterns that affect day-to-day life. Trauma-focused approaches are used when painful memories or past events are central to what you’re facing, helping to process those experiences in manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will help you and him decide together which methods fit your goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as you notice what helps and what doesn’t.

Online sessions make the process more flexible. Video calls let you meet face to face when you want visual connection, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messages suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options help therapy fit around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
