About Paul
Paul Hunt is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply tired of carrying it alone. He talks with people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems and the strain of parenting or work. He offers a calm, non-judgemental presence so people can find words for things they have been holding inside.
Paul works from a person-centred stance and listens closely to how each person describes their life. He draws on straightforward tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help manage unhelpful thoughts and reduce stress.
Background and approach
He also uses existential ideas to help people make sense of meaning and direction when life feels confusing. Paul is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. He has three years of professional experience and practices in the United Kingdom.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. In conversations he pays attention to attachment, boundaries and the effects of trauma or abandonment. He supports people dealing with addiction, neurodiversity, eating or sleeping struggles, and the pressures of caring for others.
The focus is practical: notice what matters, try small changes, and track what helps. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to suit you. The aim is to work together at a pace that feels manageable and to help people feel steadier and clearer as they move forward.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Paul will talk with you about your goals and preferences, and together you will decide what to try first. That collaborative way of working makes it easier to adjust methods if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you meet face to face without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for work breaks, childcare needs or quieter surroundings, while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical steps.
