Paul Hunt, BACP

Paul Hunt is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain and feelings of being overwhelmed. He speaks plainly and listens closely, aiming to make it easier to name what’s hard. If jealousy, low self-esteem or grief are on your mind, he offers a calm space to talk them through.

Paul spends sessions helping people sort out day-to-day struggles like sleep, eating, work stress and parenting pressures. He also supports people facing trauma, addiction, ADHD and the strain that comes from caring for others. He treats each person as an individual rather than a diagnosis, and works at a gentle, steady pace.

Paul is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He brings three years of clinical work to his practice and uses a blend of conversational and evidence-informed ways of working. Expect straightforward discussion, reflection and practical steps you can try between meetings.

His approach is warm and down to earth. He does not try to fix people; he helps them understand what’s been getting in the way. Sessions invite honesty about fears, attachment worries and difficult memories, and focus on finding clearer ways to cope.

Many clients find it easier to talk when they feel heard without judgement. Paul aims to offer that kind of presence, whether someone is dealing with jealousy, relationship uncertainty or big life changes. If you want to explore things slowly, he can help you take those first steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and the therapist offers acceptance and close listening. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of feelings like jealousy, loss or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and managing stress in everyday life.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will try different approaches to see what fits best. That process is collaborative and paced to what the client needs.

Confirm session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Remote working can also allow a focus on practical tools, homework between meetings and more flexible scheduling to suit everyday life.
