About Paul
Paul Hunt is a counsellor who aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable. He speaks plainly and listens closely, helping people who are tired, stressed, or unsure how to begin. His approach is calm and down-to-earth, with a focus on meeting each person where they are.
He works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, stress and burnout, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the challenges that come with ADHD and neurodiversity.
Background and approach
Parenting issues and fatherhood concerns are also areas he addresses alongside problems such as addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career worries. Paul is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which he lists as BACP. He uses a mix of methods tailored to each person rather than one fixed system.
Sessions aim to help people name feelings, understand patterns, and find practical ways to cope day to day. His manner is described as warm and present, focused on creating a space where people can speak openly without judgement. He balances listening with gentle questioning to help someone make sense of what’s happening for them and to identify small, workable steps forward.
Paul offers online sessions that many find easier to fit into a busy life. If someone wants to explore starting therapy, he guides them through a straightforward matching and scheduling process so they can begin at a pace that suits them.

How different approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what they hear, and helps the individual find their own solutions. This works well for people who need acceptance and space to make sense of emotions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build new routines. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems, and many day-to-day stresses.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods that fit the person and adjust them as understanding grows.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want to fit sessions into a busy routine. These options make it easier to keep therapy going alongside work, childcare and other commitments.
