About me
Hello, I’m Paul.
I trained at Masters level in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy and I’m a qualified clinical supervisor. I have trained with Cruse bereavement and with Change Grow Live addiction programme.
I’m a musician, a painter and sculptor and I have a keen interest in our planet and everything that lives here.
I started training in 2014, and had my first clients in 2016, as a counsellor at MIND. After that I worked with Cruse bereavement care and then with Change Grow Live.
I started private practice in 2018.
Relationships are where we interface with the world, whether it’s a relationship with a partner, as a couple, person, a substance, an organisation, or most importantly with ourselves. Our responses to these relationships, informed by childhood experiences, traumas and surroundings, can become problematic.
To change something about the way you are in a relationships, we start by recognising how the patterns of life can seem to repeat. Once we can become aware of this, our response can change too. You can deepen your understanding of your triggers, soothe your anxiety, work your way through depression and have the experience of living that you long for.
I work from several locations including Tunbridge Wells, Haywards Heath and Crowborough. Sessions are weekly. A session lasts 50 minutes and costs 65 pounds. If you are in need, we can come to a concessionary agreement.
I have successfully completed 4 years training in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy at Wealden Psychology Institute.
I have completed a certificated specialist course in Bereavement counselling with Cruse.
I have trained with Change Grow Live and been awarded their Addiction Therapy qualification.
While in practise, I am now completing training for my CTA which is the worldwide Psychotherapy certification.

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.
