About Paul
Paul Douglas Rankeillor is a counsellor registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are feeling low, overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, or struggling with addictions.

Background and approach
He focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions to make day-to-day life easier. Paul has worked with mood difficulties and depression alongside related issues such as guilt, shame, and loneliness. He also addresses problems linked to attachment, abandonment and questions about life purpose or sexuality.
Conversations often cover how money worries and other pressures affect mood and motivation. In sessions Paul creates a supportive space to explore patterns and small changes that can add up. He encourages people to set realistic goals and to notice progress, however small.
His approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People can expect short-term practical tools alongside time to reflect on deeper themes. Paul describes starting therapy as a courageous step, and he focuses on helping people move towards clearer thinking and steadier routines.

What Paul works with
Everything Paul lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss options and try methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. He treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts pace and focus as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues, phone sessions can be quicker and use less data, chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection over time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
