Paul Prescott

Paul Prescott is a counsellor with seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. He supports people who are dealing with anger as well as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. He also works with issues such as addiction, grief, sleeping problems and changes in life circumstances.

Paul describes his work as collaborative. He aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. He focuses on helping clients find clarity, build self-worth and make choices that fit their values.

His approach draws on several psychological methods. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches. He also adopts a client-centred stance that keeps the person’s own goals in view.

Paul frames sessions as a partnership. He listens for each person’s view of their life and then helps them try different ways of responding, managing feelings and repairing connections. The aim is to reduce unhelpful patterns and increase practical options for handling problems.

He explains his work plainly and walks alongside clients as they explore meaning and purpose. Paul also welcomes people from LGBT backgrounds and those with a range of personality and relationship concerns. For language needs, sessions are offered in English.

How Paul’s approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values; it suits problems like anger, anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising small experiments to change them, which can help with sleeping, depression and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people develop different ways of relating and repairing bonds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to try based on individual goals, preferences and what seems most helpful in early sessions. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

The biography does not list session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online counselling useful because it can fit around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity when life is busy and let people try a therapeutic approach from wherever they are located.
