About Paul

Paul Hunt offers a calm, person-focused approach to therapy that helps people make sense of difficult feelings and life changes. He meets clients where they are, whether they are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, relationship difficulties, childhood trauma, parental alienation, or the daily challenges of living with ADHD and neurodiversity. Rather than focusing only on labels, he works with each person as an individual - listening closely to what is unspoken as well as what is said.

He is a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. Paul creates a personal environment where clients can speak openly from wherever they feel most comfortable, and his manner is described as warm, down to earth, and genuinely human. He emphasizes presence and careful listening rather than judgment or quick fixes, and he aims to walk alongside people as they explore their own stories and values.

Many people find it unexpectedly easy to talk with him, including in online sessions, because he aims to be fully present and attentive. His work supports people to name and untangle feelings that have been buried or left unacknowledged, with the goal of helping them feel clearer and more grounded. Paul frames therapy as a way to come back to oneself rather than to become someone else, and he welcomes enquiries from those who are ready or simply curious to begin.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Paul commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy in his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on helping the person feel heard and understood - the therapist provides empathic listening and support while the client leads the pace and focus of the work. This approach suits people who need a compassionate space to explore identity, relationships, and emotional pain. CBT is a structured, problem-solving method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact; it helps with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns by building practical skills and clearer thinking. Mindfulness therapy encourages gentle attention to present-moment experience and can help reduce rumination, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with stress and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Paul works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and responsive to each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while still receiving support from registered professionals and therapists who can help guide the process.
