Paul has been the only counsellor that I've had that has really helped me get to the bottom of my issues, helped me to change the way I think and see things, and has made me feel genuinely understood and seen. I could not recommend him enough.
Paul took a very thoughtful and personalised approach, and tailored each therapy session to my individual needs, state, and headspace each week. He enabled me to quickly build the awareness and confidence to feel safe tackling past trauma and the complex root causes and patterns leading to the anxiety, depression and distress I was experiencing. Using a range of techniques including eye movement therapy and brain-spotting, Paul enabled me to pinpoint and process specific trauma and emotional conflicts and pattern linked to them. Since completing my therapy sessions I have seen massive improvements to mood, emotional stability and overall mental wellness. Paul has also given me a range of tools and approaches to continue managing my day to day mental health well-being and I’m still seeing ongoing improvements from their use. It’s rare to find therapists with a warmth, insight and range of perspectives as well as the reassurance provided by explaining each technique thoroughly and pointing to evidence & research behind each. Paul is very transparent and down to earth in his approach and each session felt really accessible and part of a journey rather than a process being done to me. Was invaluable to me when needed the most! Highly recommended!
I last saw Paul a few months ago and what we achieved from my sessions, continues to help me on a very regular basis. I often speak about Paul's unique and fantastic work to friends and family, which prompted me to finally write a review! Before getting a recommendation to see Paul, I had a few different forms of talking therapies elsewhere which had very little benefit for me. Paul takes his own wonderful, unique, interesting and extremely effective methods to help you see things much more clearly. Paul's is extremely knowledgeable and shares this knowledge with his clients in order to help you to understand why you are feeling the way you're feeling, reassuring you and guiding you effectively to overcome your struggles. His approach is extremely unique, fascinating and opens your eyes to the world around you. Paul doesn't just help you overcome your current struggles, he helps you to see the world differently which inturn empowers you to manage future situations and difficulties with a calmer and more rationale mind set. Paul is a welcoming, kind, empathetic, genuine man, who is truly remarkable at the work he does. Its clear Paul has a passion for helping others and I am so grateful for the help he gave me. Its lovely to know Paul is there if I ever feel I would benefit from future sessions! If you're reading these reviews and feel unsure what to do, give Paul a message. You've already done the hardest part by accepting you need help! Your future self will thank you! Thanks again Paul!
I was very reluctant to see anyone regarding my anxiety & panic attacks. These started after a bereavement. Paul was highly recommended to me & it took a great deal of courage to book the first appointment. As soon as I met Paul I felt comfortable with him, he is such a genuine caring man. Paul helped me with a trauma using the eye movement therapy which I am amazed with. Paul has helped me see life more clearly & opened up a whole new world to me. He has given me the understanding & confidence to go forward positively. It did not take many sessions before I felt in a much better place emotionally. He always explains everything making sure you understand it thoroughly. I highly recommend anyone struggling to make an appointment, you won't be disappointed! I know in the future I will see Paul again just because he is excellent at putting your heart & soul in a much calmer and positive state. I will always be so grateful for the recommendation i had to see him.
Paul, is an extremely knowledgeable supervisor. We have worked together for over 3 years and the wealth and depth of his knowledge is extremely beneficial to my practice and my clients. Paul has over 20 years of experience working with clients, ranging from children to adults, allowing him to pass on this vast expertise to his supervisees. I feel I have grown as a therapist under his guidance immensely. Highly recommended for anyone starting out on their new career to seasoned professionals.
Paul is an incredibly skilled counsellor with an astonishing level of perception & empathy combined with a complete range of professional techniques, tools & knowledge. He is also one of the most friendly, sincere & genuine people you could hope to meet. His support has been life changing for me and visiting him has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I cannot recommend highly enough.
I am immenseley grateful to Paul for helping me to adjust and refocus during a very difficut time. He is a lovely guy, very effective and I cannot recommend him enough.
Paul was recommended to me by a friend as I was suffering from severe trauma following a recent tragic traffic accident. Paul listened to me and then used Integral Eye Movement Therapy and I came away after only one session with the trauma gone. It seemed like magic to me but I put it down to Paul's skill. Thank you so much.
