About Paul
Paul Hunt is a BACP counsellor who helps people who are anxious, stressed, or struggling to cope. He meets individuals where they are and listens without judgement. He aims to make the first step feel a little easier and less lonely.
His style is warm and down to earth. Sessions focus on the person, not a label. He uses listening and gentle questioning to help people name what’s been hard to say.
Background and approach
Paul blends several ways of working to suit each person. That can include practical steps to change thinking patterns, moments to practise being present, and exploring personal meaning and values. He aims to make these ideas simple and clear so clients can use them between sessions.
He has three years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Paul works with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and ADHD-related challenges. He also supports people facing career stress, addiction issues, body image and parenting pressures.
Many sessions take place online by video call, phone, live chat or messaging. Paul helps people who want coaching-style support as well as those seeking longer therapeutic work. He encourages a collaborative approach so goals feel achievable and realistic.
If someone is curious or unsure, he offers a calm space to begin the conversation.
How Paul blends approaches for online therapy
Paul uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person in the room. That means listening closely, reflecting what’s said, and helping people feel understood before deciding the next steps. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of their feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to try small practical changes. It can help with worries, low mood and sleep problems by breaking down large issues into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will talk through options and decide together which methods feel most useful for someone’s goals and preferences. He adapts how he works over time as needs change, so treatment can be more hands-on or more reflective depending on the person.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be helpful for short check-ins, written reflections, or when someone needs flexible ways to keep in touch. These formats let people continue therapy while managing work, family or travel commitments.
