Fridays.

For other times, please contact me for availability.

Hello, I’m Paul.

I am a warm, relaxed, non-judgemental qualified person-centred counsellor drawing on other therapeutic approaches to support you in your therapy.

I work with individual clients in person: face-to-face, walk and talk, on-line or telephone.

I have gained experience in a counselling agency working with adults and am also participating in group or on-line therapy sessions with men through a charity/community.

I work with individual clients in person: face-to-face, walk and talk in Shurdington near Cheltenham and on-line or over the telephone.

However we are working, I believe in the importance of our confidential counselling relationship. This is our two-way relationship that develops through trust, built on you feeling your experiences and vulnerability are acknowledged through active listening and empathic reflection to ensure you feel fully heard and understood without judgement. It is through feeling safe you can bring your deeper experiences for exploration to the session. Through exploration, you may begin to understand your patterns/behaviour that differs who you want to be. Coming to terms with this can empower you to make your own informed choices at your own pace that can support your change and growth. 

I believe although our experiences and instilled beliefs that have shaped our lives to who we are today, we all have the ability to grow to be the best we can be.

The thought of being vulnerable can be daunting, maybe you don’t feel heard.

I offer a free 20-minute informal chat to listen and understand what you are experiencing, what you would like to achieve from counselling, what feels safe, respectful and aligned to your own needs and whether I am the right counsellor for you.
