Paul Hunt

Paul Hunt is a counsellor who aims to make the first step into therapy feel less daunting. He meets people where they are and listens without judgement. He wants to help with the things that leave you tired, stuck or overwhelmed. If anger, stress or relationship strain are part of what you are facing, he can help you talk them through.

Paul works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and challenges linked to neurodiversity and ADHD. He places the person before labels and focuses on practical conversation and understanding. Sessions are described as warm and down to earth, with an emphasis on being present and listening closely.

As a registered member of the BACP, Paul brings an integrative outlook that draws on several therapeutic approaches. He often helps people untangle feelings that have been buried or pushed aside, and supports them to find clearer ways of relating to themselves and others. Therapy with him aims to make emotions easier to name and manage rather than to change who someone is.

Paul’s intent is to create a calm space where people can slow down and explore what matters to them. He encourages honesty and gentle curiosity about difficult thoughts and behaviours. The aim is to leave sessions feeling a little lighter and better able to cope with daily life.

If you are curious or unsure, Paul invites you to begin with a short matching process to see if his way of working feels right for you. He offers sessions from the United Kingdom and conducts work in English.

How Paul’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and on building trust. It helps when someone needs emotional support, clarity about their feelings, or a space to talk through personal problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and problems like anger or sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods fit best. That choice is collaborative and can change as you move through therapy.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings, use less bandwidth by keeping the camera off, or schedule sessions around work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often find remote sessions suit people who need flexibility or who prefer speaking from their own routines.
