About Paul

Paul Weeden is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on practical help for people feeling stressed, anxious or stuck. He has 15 years of experience and a BACP credential. He speaks English and accepts international clients, so sessions can suit people in different places and time zones.

Paul keeps sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. He offers breathing and relaxation techniques to ease overwhelm and short exercises to rebuild daily routine.

Background and approach

He encourages a better balance between work and personal life and helps clients reconnect with creative or meaningful activities. His approach is collaborative. He listens first, then works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.

Sessions often include practical strategies for sleep, motivation and time management, alongside space to talk about feelings and relationships. Paul also supports people who are parenting by helping with routine, separation and managing lifestyle changes. He uses simple, teachable tools so parents can try things between sessions and see what helps at home.

Over his career he has helped people with a wide range of concerns from addiction and grief to career stress and ADHD. The emphasis is on small, steady changes that fit into everyday life and build confidence over time.

Online support

Approaches that shape online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering empathy and practical feedback to help someone feel heard and decide what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses short exercises and clear strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and tackle unhelpful thinking patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest options together. That collaborative process means methods can be blended and adjusted over time to suit what helps most.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises, while phone sessions can fit around work breaks or low-bandwidth connections. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, quick tools or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and practise new habits between sessions.
