Who Am I?
Hi, I'm Paul Robert Brown, I am 49 years old. I believe all individuals deserve to be free from emotional and psychological pain and become who they wish to be.
I am a humanistic Integrative Psychotherapist based in Nottingham, I am passionate about supporting people to live the best possible life.
I practice in Nottingham and Derby, both in person and online, offering 1 hour therapy sessions.
I offer individual, couples and family therapy.
The relationship I build with my clients provides the safety and acceptance they need to support their change and healing.
I practice ethically. I regularly engage in my personal and professional development and attend clinical supervision to reflect on my practice.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
I have over ten years of experience as a practitioner and therapist working with relational trauma.
My Story
I once was broken. I never felt good enough. I had lost hope and had no sense of purpose. Through accessing the right support and learning to be honest, and vulnerable with those I trusted, one of whom was my therapist, I became the person I am today. I am enough, I love and respect myself and I respect and value my clients. I believe we all deserve to become who we wish to be.
The Way I Work
I practice how I live, authentically and with honesty.
My approach to therapy is relational. Healing occurs within the therapeutic relationship and through effective strategies that address whatever is holding you back in your life.
“Secrets keep us sick”. I view therapy as an intimate partnership within which we can safely discover and explore problematic or painful feelings and thoughts in a respectful, safe and non-judgemental relationship.
My goal is always to understand you and to know how it feels to walk in your shoes. Using a dynamic approach, tailored to you and your needs, we will explore your experience together.
