About Paul
Paul Gledhill brings a down-to-earth, straightforward style to therapeutic work, combining warmth with practical common sense. He is friendly, direct, and non-judgemental, focusing squarely on helping people explore and resolve the issues that are affecting their lives. He holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has a Masters Degree in Psychodynamic Therapy. He is also undertaking a research doctorate examining how therapy works with military personnel and veterans.
Paul practices psychodynamic therapy, an approach that looks beneath surface symptoms to uncover underlying patterns and early influences that shape current feelings and relationships. This work can surface emotions and memories that are then explored together in the therapeutic space to promote understanding and change. Since 2019 he has developed a specialism supporting military and emergency services clients, while also working with people from a wide range of backgrounds.
He supports clients with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, family and career issues, and depression. Paul also addresses areas such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing and caregiver stress, body image, and communication and control issues. His practice aims to offer thoughtful, exploratory therapy tailored to each person’s needs.

Psychodynamic Approaches and Flexible Online Support
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current thoughts, feelings and relationships. In practice this involves exploring recurring themes in a person’s life, such as attachment styles or early relational dynamics, to uncover the root of distress and open up new ways of relating and coping. This approach can be helpful for issues like trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety and long-standing emotional patterns.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Paul works collaboratively with each person to identify whether psychodynamic work fits their goals, needs and preferences, and to adapt the pace and focus of therapy as progress unfolds. That collaborative process guides decisions about how to proceed and what to prioritise in sessions.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations within the United Kingdom. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow registered professionals to work with clients in ways that match their communication style and practical needs.
