Paul Campbell, BACP

Paul Campbell is a counsellor with 11 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works in the United Kingdom and speaks English. He focuses on stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, commitment problems, control issues, dissociation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, emptiness, family problems, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and infidelity. Paul uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also uses client-centred methods to listen and help people find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural strategies and motivational interviewing are used where practical skills and change planning help, and psychodynamic thinking can be brought in to look at deeper themes. He believes clients are the experts in their own story and builds on individual strengths. Sessions aim to make difficult issues easier to understand and manage. Practical steps and gentle challenge are both options depending on the person’s needs. Taking the first step can feel daunting and Paul offers straightforward support to begin that process. To start, clients follow the site’s sign-up flow and schedule according to availability.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current feelings and behaviours; it can be useful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues and feelings of abandonment. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting a person to find their own solutions, which helps when someone needs space to make sense of their experience. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and can be helpful for stress, anxiety and addictive patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and then try different ways of working until a good fit is found. That process is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
