About me
Hello, I am Paul, a Qualified Integrative Therapist, 'Psychotherapeutic Counsellor' and I am a fully accredited member of the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy with over five years experience of working with people.
I offer a face to face counselling service to adults, in the Beverley road area of Hull, East Yorkshire. I work remotely online and offer a combination.
I am an integrative therapist so you will benefit from a number of approaches to best suit your needs. I have experience of working with people from different backgrounds and work with people of all ages, 18+. I see clients on a short and long term basis and the sessions are very much driven by what you bring to them. I like to work at a pace that best suits you. The first session is about getting to know you more and to explore with you as to what you would like out of therapy.
I offer a confidential and non judging counselling service in the Beverley road area of Hull, in a quiet and safe space, close to Pearson Park.
Here are some of the reasons people seek out therapy:
- People who feel stuck in their lives and would like to explore what is preventing them from being able to move forward
- Low mood & Depression
- The loss of a loved one due to bereavement or the loss of a significant relationship in someone's life
- Imposter syndrome and not feeling good enough
- Anxiety & stress
- Feeling sad and unhappy but not sure why they feel this way
- Feeling lonely and isolated
- Relationship issues
- Being bullied and understanding the effects this has had upon a person's life
- Understanding the impact childhood has on an individual
- Work related issues such as bullying and stress
- Issues relating to the impact of covid
- Difficulties in forming relationships
- Destructive relational patterns
- Difficulties in connecting with emotions
- Understanding why people have obsessional behaviours and wanting to change these
- Mens related issues
- Sexuality issues
- Self image and self esteem issues
I offer a free 15 minute consultation on the phone. I believe for successful therapy to take place, it's really important for you to feel that I am the right therapist for you, and the free consultation provides the chance for you to ask me any questions.
