Paul Heald

BACP Accredited and UKRCP registered, I work with people of all ages who are experiencing difficulties in their lives and wish to begin work leading to change. I have worked extensively as a Therapist/Counsellor for over 14 years now in a range of organisations and in a range of sectors. I have worked with children, young men and women and Adults. I teach on the Counselling and Psychotherapy Degree Programme at Edge Hill University. I am a qualified Relationship therapist a (RELATE) and have been Accredited since 2009. I have been trained in a number of approaches, beginning with Person Centred. I have trained in Psychodynamic, Systemic therapy, CBT, TA, Solution Focus and more recently Emotion Focusssed Therapy.

I bring this broad experience to my work with clients and supervisees to help in supporting them with their development and to help implement change. 

I am a qualified Supervisor/Therapist and Tutor.

I have been practicing as a therapist for over 15 years. I qualified as a supervisor in 2014.

I have been trained in a number of approaches. Originally in the Person Centred approach. I am a RELATE trained couple counsellor where I was trained in the Psychodynamic and System approaches.

I completed a CBT qualification and further studies in TA and the Solution Focussed approaches. I have always maintained a Private Practice whilst completing work in the NHS, Brook Advisory, UCLAN Student services and many secondary schools (Academy) in the North West.

I have been a Tutor at UCLAN, , Blackburn University Centre, Edge Hill University and a local Private Training Organisation. I have delivered workshops and course at Maundy Grange, Accrington Academy and at Beardwood High School.

This experience has helped me have a good understanding of the profession and is what I bring to my work with supervisees and clients in order to be helpful and of service to them in their development.

My previous background in Management in the public and private sector also has proved useful in dealing with the complexities and difficulties often experienced working a s a Therapist in organisations.
