Paul Berry (MBACP) Counsellor & Psychotherapist. DIP
About me
I see individuals and couples, either face to face or online using Zoom.
Finding the right therapist for you and asking for help can be a daunting task, especially if you are feeling anxious and uncertain. I have many years of experience across a broad range of problems, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and relationship issues.
I offer short notice appointments, so you get seen, heard, and helped quickly. You choose a location and time that works for you.

You may have been considering finding help for a while now, and finally, you have decided to take that step. All these anxious feelings are natural, you are not alone in this. With professional help, you can feel more at ease.
'Research findings have shown that some therapy is better than no therapy at all'
A 50-minute reduced fee assessment session may help you decide if I am the right Therapist for you. You can also contact me if you are uncertain regarding your type of problem. Send an email or phone.
We can work together in a confidential therapeutic relationship that will allow you to explore your experiences in a safe manner. I have experience working with individuals and couples on many types of problems. How we connect with each other determines some of the outcomes we will achieve.
Emotion-focused therapy is an effective integrative humanistic therapy, supported by research evidence. The therapy integrates person-centred therapy, gestalt therapy, constructivist methods, and psychodynamic ideas on relationship attachments. I aim to support you, value your decisions and offer therapeutic task interventions on whatever life experiences you wish to bring to therapy,
Psychological well-being is just as important as physical health.
Appointments are available at short notice.
