Counselling and Therapy
How counselling and therapy can help
Psychotherapy is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and a psychotherapist.
Grounded mainly in dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows you to talk openly with someone who is objective, neutral and non-judgmental. Together, you and a psychotherapist will work together to identify and change the thought and behaviour patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best.
The key difference between the two therapeutic communication treatments lies in the recommended time required to see benefits. Counselling usually refers to a brief treatment that centres around behaviour patterns. Psychotherapy focuses on working with clients over a longer period and draws from insights into emotional problems and difficulties.

How Paul can help
Paul believes in working cognitively to stabilise clients before working more creatively. Creative ways of working can include visualisations, sand trays and symbolism. I will explain thoroughly what each method entails before we begin. In a first consultation, we can discuss any questions you may have about the therapeutic process and what you hope to gain from the sessions.
Paul offers several forms of counselling, including one-to-one, group therapy, business coaching and life coaching. He also runs workshops which use a powerful Gestalt-based intervention to free participants from the shackles of their past.
Paul’s approach to counselling and psychotherapy is always one of no blame, no shame. Boundaries will be discussed before any therapy is initiated and it is always Paul’s aim that the client is happy and comfortable each step of the way.
