Paul Currie

Paul Currie welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or worn out by life. He writes plainly about how common it is to try and push on through pain, and he offers time to stop and talk. Paul is a counsellor with BACP membership and five years' practical experience supporting people through hard periods.

He works in a flexible, integrative way and tailors sessions to what each person brings. That means sessions can include different evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to suit the individual's needs and comfort. Paul aims to help people find clearer ways to cope with stress, anxiety, anger and low mood.

Paul has worked with problems such as trauma, grief, addictions and relationship difficulties, as well as issues like chronic pain and loneliness. He also supports people managing life changes, burnout and self-esteem struggles. Practical skills and reflective conversation are both part of the work he offers.

His own experience of therapy shaped his approach, so he places value on creating a calm space to process difficult feelings and learn new patterns. The pace of therapy is set by the person attending, with choices about techniques and focus discussed together.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and appointments are scheduled according to availability. Paul encourages questions before booking and invites potential clients to use the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Paul uses an integrative mix of evidence-based techniques and adapts those methods to each person. One common strand is skills-based work, which teaches practical tools for managing stress, anxiety and anger such as breathing, grounding and paced behavioural steps. Another strand is reflective talking therapy, which helps people make sense of painful events like grief, trauma or relationship strain and build different ways of responding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss options at the start and adjust the methods as the relationship and goals become clearer. This is a collaborative process where the person and counsellor agree on the pace and the techniques to try.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing appointments to sit alongside work or family commitments. Please confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Paul aims to help people use sessions in ways that suit their routines and the practical demands of daily life.
