About Paul
Paul Prescott is a counsellor who helps people facing low mood and other life pressures. He has seven years of professional experience and works with people on issues such as depression, anxiety and relationship or intimacy struggles. He aims to create a supportive, non-judgemental space so people can talk honestly about what matters to them.
Paul describes his style as collaborative. He aims to co-create conditions that help people find clarity and build on their own strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what each person needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. He uses a range of psychological approaches to suit different problems. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy inform how he works.
That mix helps with unhelpful thinking, difficult emotions and relationship patterns. Paul also draws on client-centred and emotionally focused ideas to keep the work grounded in each person’s experience. He pays attention to values, meaning and what people want to move towards in life.
This can be useful for grief, trauma, or struggles with identity and intimacy. Paul is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions in English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
To begin, people use the site questionnaire to match and then book a session according to his schedule.

Online support
He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it often helps with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of his work with each person. He will help clients explore which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adapt the focus over time. That means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow visual contact for deeper interaction, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or suit lower bandwidth, and text options are useful for ongoing written reflections or quick messages between sessions. These choices help people fit therapy around work, family and travel constraints.
