Paul Huntingford

I currently have availability on Monday to Friday.

I work online. 

I am an online therapist working with clients to help them find a way through anxiety, addiction or relationship problems they face. 

Addiction comes many forms, alcohol, drugs, gambling or sex and I am experienced in working with any issues relating to these areas. 

With regards to relationships, you may be tired from constant fighting with your partner, feeling insecure or finding it difficult to stay in relationships. These along with many other issues, are aspects which we can explore together. 

With a great deal of mental health problems, there can be a component of anxiety and depression and we can explore these areas too. 

I very much believe in helping my clients to discover ways that they can live a more fulfilling and purposeful life. So, whilst we will examine the past, we will also work towards the future and moving towards the person that you want to be. 

I am also running Inter-personal therapy groups for people going through the divorce process. If you are interested in learning more, you can find information on my website: paulhuntingfordtherapy.com. 

I have a warm, welcoming style and like to build a strong collaborative relationship with my clients. 

I work from an Integrative perspective which means that I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches depending on what is required. I have done extensive training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which I combine with Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) to help clients develop more effective ways of coping with their issues. 

I will always make the focus of the therapy the challenges that you are facing. This helps to provide a framework to give focus, and flexibility to the therapy so that we can effectively help you with your addiction, anxiety, depression or relationship issues. 

I am currently offering one to one sessions of 50 minutes and only online.

First of all, I offer a free 15-20 minute phone or Zoom consultation so that we can get a sense of each other and decide if I am the right therapist for you. 

If you decide you'd like a first session, we will set up a time for a first online session. I will send a link for our meeting and also an email with a link to a welcome pack, a contact detail form and a therapy agreement, that should answer any admin questions that you have. 

In your first session, we will explore your reasons for coming to therapy, your personal history and any other important information that comes up. Towards the end of the session we will discuss what options are available in terms of further therapy with me. 

I work Monday to Friday and currently have availability. 

I only work online.

Are you someone who keeps finding themselves repeating the same painful patterns in life? Are you left feeling anxious, exhausted, frustrated and stuck with your current life situation? 

Perhaps you’re open to exploring these parts of your life and gain some understanding about them? You may be looking to address your stuck ways of being and learn ways of managing your feelings. 

I specialise in working with people who have anxiety, depression and other related issues. 

Working together, we would explore what’s happening in your life at the moment and what’s happened in the past to try and make sense of these feelings and navigate a way through for you.

I am also passionate about group work and am running therapy groups for people going through the divorce process. These are online and run once a week. You can find out more on my website or by contacting me via the form.

Working with you, I would listen to your story, ask questions aiming to explore your life and to understand those areas of life that you’re struggling with. The aim is to help provide you with a deeper knowledge of yourself and discover what matters to you in life. 

My approach is Integrative but with a solutions focus. I tend to integrate a lot of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). These approaches provide effective and immediately usable skills that can be used outside of the therapy room to help live a more fulfilling life.

I understand that choosing a therapist that you can connect with and trust is essential. In order that you can get a good sense of how we could work together, I offer a free 15 minute introductory phone call. If we decide that we will be able to work together, we can schedule a time for a first session. If we aren’t a good fit I can always refer you on to someone who may suit your needs more.

In the first session, we will discuss in more detail what's brought you to therapy and also run through some of your personal history. 

Once I've learnt a little bit more about you, we will discuss a plan for therapy in order to help you with the issues that are contributing to your anxiety.
