Paul Hunt, BACP

Paul Hunt welcomes people who are unsure where to begin and those worn down by carrying too much alone. He presents as warm and down to earth, offering a calm presence that helps people feel heard. Paul is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and the challenges of ADHD and neurodiversity. He also supports people facing family conflict, parenting strain, career stress, and coping with major life changes. Paul focuses on the person rather than a label, and talks through whatever is most pressing for each individual.

Paul describes his style as present and non-judgemental. He listens closely and aims to help people name and make sense of feelings they may have hidden for years. Conversations are paced to suit the client and to build gradual clarity and self-understanding.

His counselling draws on approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, existential thinking, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These offer practical ways to change unhelpful patterns, reflect on meaning, and improve day-to-day coping.

Paul has three years of experience and works in the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

If you are curious or ready to try talking, Paul invites you to take the next step and explore what might change when someone listens without judgement.

How Paul uses key approaches online

Paul combines client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas with mindfulness in sessions. Client-centred therapy means the conversation is shaped by what matters most to you, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection to help you feel understood and clearer about your choices. Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on noticing patterns of thought and behaviour and trying different, practical steps to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness practice brings attention to the present moment and simple techniques for managing stress, sleep, or repeated anxious thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will talk with you about your goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that suit your needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you go, so the plan fits your life and what you want from counselling.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Online work can help fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular check-ins. It can also allow shorter or more flexible contact when that better suits your schedule. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use online sessions to support people in making steady, practical progress.
